Log house on an elevated ground

We have purchased a plot of land and want to build a log cabin on it, which we do not intend to live in permanently. Since there is a depression at the intended building site, the ground needs to be raised by about 75 cm. We have already brought in enough gravel, but now hear from the architect that the natural soil must be excavated to a depth of 30 cm (sand under 10 cm of light topsoil). Wouldn't a properly compacted gravel layer be sufficient to build a foundation slab on? The floor area is 60 m² and the log beams are only 70 mm thick. Who has experience in this field?

Hello,

I would tend to listen to an architect. A family friend built a log house. Maybe you can call them sometime.

Good luck

Hello SHunte, I took a look at the houses. However, these are all log cabins and not [Blockbohlenhäuser]. Our [Blockbohlenhaus] consists of logs that are separated at the core and is delivered by "Polar-Blockbohlenbau" in Coswig Anhalt. It will be erected around the end of March, beginning of April. At the moment, the building ground and the foundation slab are still causing me some concerns. But after the problems with the building permit, we will also get that under control. Regards Schmadding!

OK, I just learned something new. I only know that our friends are very satisfied with the house and the service was very good.

Good luck with the further house construction : )
