The contract documents must contain some indication of conditions to be expected and the actual conditions must vary from that indication.
Express Indications: Boring locations, ground elevations, logs, subsurface investigation reports, ground water levels, foundation investigation reports.
General Design Indications: Inferences that can reasonably be made from reading the plans and specifications.
