Depth, diameter and cage, confirmed while the bore is still open.
Piers appear on Schofields lots where the footing has to pass through fill or softer material to reach something the engineer will rely on. The depth is the point of the whole exercise, and once concrete goes in there is no way back to it.

Well under an hour on a typical lot, longer if there are many piers or the site is difficult to move around.
We put the measured depth next to the required depth and leave the remedy to the builder and their engineer.
No. We record what we see against the engineering. Certification is the engineer's role and the report names where it is needed.
It can weaken the concrete at the base. Recording it means it gets pumped out before the pour rather than discovered later.
A day ahead is workable. Piers are frequently bored and filled within forty eight hours.
