Depth, diameter and cage, confirmed while the bore is still open.
Piers turn up on Edmondson Park lots where the footing has to reach past fill, and on land that spent half a century as an army camp there is fill in places you would not predict. Depth is the whole exercise, and concrete ends any chance of confirming it. Every photograph here was taken in Austral, roughly six kilometres north west of Edmondson Park and in the same growth corridor. We would rather name the suburb than let another job read as local.

Under an hour on a typical lot, longer where there are many piers or the site is spread out.
The measured depth goes in beside the required depth. The remedy is between your builder and their engineer, and the report gives them the figure.
No. We record against the engineering. Certification is an engineer's function and the report says when one is needed.
Because filled and disturbed ground behaves differently from natural ground, and the engineering for a lot is drawn from a soil report that takes account of it. That is what we check against.
Rarely. Pier depth is the concreter's own record too, and a second set of measurements on the day protects everybody.
Your lot engineering, with pier depths, diameters and positions marked.
