House / carport with L-shaped stones or are there better alternatives?

Luckily, for me it's only 20cm. But when I consider that they only went missing on the site after the demolition anyway (because the previous owner had concreted everything over and the pool and cellar pit absorbed so much soil mass) and then these 20cm were filled back up above street level with fill sand, which ended up costing me extra for the earthworks, I could kick myself for not paying closer attention and thinking about it in advance.

I just forgot: do you also build with timber frame? Because there are really minimal base heights to consider when it comes to wood protection. The problem here is that the obviously lazy planner simply took the highest terrain point located at the most irrelevant spot and didn’t care at all about the resulting problems on the access side. The much more obvious solution to simply subtract the irrelevant height didn’t somehow occur to him :rolleyes:

No, it’s stone (Poroton). But I’m of the opinion that as long as you’re not living in a flood zone or on clay soil, the slab (20cm) as a safety measure should be sufficient. Then you still need an entrance platform and the terrace is either level with the garden or with the interior, but not both (or with a slope). At the moment, I have a difference of 30-40cm up to the upper edge of the finished floor on the ground floor, and that’s already almost two steps for the platform/terrace. I think I will still somehow distribute my 200 cubic meters of excavated soil (or part of it) and create a kind of rain basin in front of the boundary to the public street land, so that no one can complain that I’m draining illegally...

does it bother you if you have three, four steps everywhere? That’s what it’s currently coming down to. Alternative: set the house slightly lower (which is exactly ZERO problem)

I will discuss this again. :)
