Are additional costs for suspended land calculable?

Earthworks are an additional item.

Remove 530 sqm of topsoil and store it on the side, average removal depth 20 cm 950 EUR
Excavate 650 m3 of soil for the excavation pit according to profile and store on the side, excavation depth up to 3.50m 4500 EUR
Install and compact 300 tons of limestone gravel free on site, in layers as base layer material under the floor slab, paved exterior areas, and working space of the support angle 6900 EUR
Deliver and lay in a single layer 85 tons of limestone chippings 8/16 free on site as a capillary-breaking layer under the floor slab 2650 EUR
and then some small items like dimple foil, site setup (1k), geotextile (860 EUR)

We will initially store the excavation on the property and after backfilling and terrain modeling see if there is much excavation left (probably not much).
The property is large enough 1400 sqm

And does anyone know if limestone gravel is better than recycled gravel?
Recycled gravel is listed as a contingency item and is cheaper than limestone gravel (both 0/60)

Aren't you mistaken? Do you really want to store this amount of soil on your property? That will never go well.

Regarding the price for the stones, that's about right, paid around 4000 euros for 8 meters about 5 years ago.

so we had about 400m³ on the property (1050sqm), that was already a really big pile^^ we then transported 650t away and distributed the rest on the hillside property

Of course, your soil will

Are you not mistaken? You really want to store this amount of soil on your property? That will never work.

Valid point, with a 1400 sqm property, 650 m3 is a very large amount to store and work in.

We also have the option to transport 300 m3 to another property on the street; they need the soil for backfilling. However, I think we won't have to move that much. So we'll wait first to see what's left after the backfilling. The house will be built on a slope. We will position it slightly above street level, so the northern corner of the basement will be exactly at ground level. However, the southwest corner of the basement is 1.3 m below ground level. From the building edge to the southwestern end of the property, there are still 21 m that slope down slightly; this part is to be filled. We'll see how much fits in there. That will be our lawn area. (So filling about 1.3 m over 21 m length and 15-20 m depth, plus working space, plus some soil in front of the house for leveling) If the amount cannot be stored on the property, it will be transported to the neighboring property. It should cost around 1900 EUR for 300 m3. Still inexpensive, as we probably won't have to take anything to the landfill.
