My reply

First you have to conduct soil test in your plot by an approved agency with qualified Engineers.Then soil test data will have to be tested in soil test lab.After this results obtained will have to be checked and studied by a Structural Engineer specialised in the field.Then only it can be decided whether  sand piling will be sufficient.
If an Engineer simply says that sand piling has to be done without these steps of action,it has no meaning
