Hello dear forum community,
I have been reading along and browsing the forum for quite some time now. For our planned construction project, I ask for your assessment and your advice. It concerns a plot of land on a slight slope and the planning of the building on it. To better illustrate, I am attaching a sketch plan with the measured elevation points as well as the maximum building footprint. We are currently in the floor plan planning stage; the footprint might end up somewhat smaller as a result. The height difference within the max. building area is about 1 m depending on the arrangement, possibly slightly more diagonally. If the building footprint ends up a bit smaller, the max. height difference would also be reduced.
We have already commissioned a soil survey in advance, which recommends either a load-bearing slab with frost skirts or a strip foundation (we had already indicated beforehand that a basement is not necessarily desired). The transition to solid rock occurs at about 2.80 m.
Our plans, based on the soil survey, foresee a building without a basement. The plan is to place the building as lightly as possible into the slope to reduce the height difference somewhat. Now I have read a bit here on the forum and am no longer sure whether this is sensible and works as planned. How do you assess the situation? Is a slab foundation sensible and structurally possible? Are (southeast-side) L-elements necessary, or can the slope possibly be cut back due to the size of the plot? How high do you estimate the overall costs for the earthworks?
Note: The terrace is expected to run around the southeast corner of the building.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
