We also had such a site (about 1.50m lower at the end terraced house) and that is quite difficult.
In our case, the entire area is also lower - none of the builders procured any material but took the leftover excavation from the neighbors.
However, you are also a bit dependent on the good neighbors. If they do not build in a timely manner, you cannot fill your entire plot and lay out the garden – or set L-bricks to the neighbors at a high cost.
We also compensated for our height difference with strip foundations - it was still more expensive than a slab foundation - but still several thousand euros cheaper than a basement. Also, you can check various platforms to see if someone in your region is giving away excavation for free. Often free including transport. Then you just need someone to install it for you.
