...I also planned to expose the basement and build a raised terrace on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I had to abandon this. Even though this would have eliminated the need for L-shaped stones and backfilling, I would have had to remove and dispose of about 900 sqm of "loose soil." For Z0 soil, I had a quote of €23,000. The terrace would have cost another €30,000. In addition, the basement side would need extra plastering, stairs down to the garden. Still, L-shaped stones to support the carport would cost €10,000, and so on.
However, since the soil analysis showed Z1.1 soil, the earthworks and disposal costs would have tripled. That put the beautiful idea down the drain.
Here you also quickly realize how important a soil analysis is. If the analysis is only carried out at the disposal site, then in such a situation you have already "lost."
