        abstract = {In building  work, the most significant element is getting the  valuable  information  of  ground in which the building  project is to be founded. We obtain the information via field Investigation Nowadays this work has been considered  as part of the contractual obligation. The importance  in implementing  field investigation is seems to be slowly faded  from a engineering point of  view. As part of this contractual obligation, personnel involves in construction  would  only  provide Site Investigation reports upon request or else designers tend to prescribe any design parameters based on intuitive values. Also the use of cut-price site investigation - or none at all –  is a form of gambling. If the gamble pays off the company will have saved a small proportion of the costs. If not the additional on-going costs will inevitably exceed the price of competent site and field investigation report. This paper will provide practicing engineers a good insight into the importance of field investigation and its process by looking into old habits and getting away from  it.},
