Since the topography and geotechnical features of the particular site are unknown to us, there is a limit to the wisdom that Wazua republic can offer. I think it would be fair and more appropriate to hire consultants (architect QS and engineers) to advise on such and other very important aspects as you embark on the project, our very own a4architect would be willing to offer his services am sure. In the present case you could ask your consultant to explain (with tables and figures if need be) the pros and cons of excavating entire layer or building columns and suspending the ground floor. If your consultant gives you advice that you do not agree with, then in that case and by all means come back here for second opinion

I did not see your post. I'd have gotten in touch for excavation. I have an excavation machine. I'd have sent someone to check it and quote for you. Kshs 130k is not unreasonable depending on the depth of cotton soil.
