Should a hanging plot be filled for a ground slab?

It's probably because I'm new here :D So, with us, the embankment was created by a civil engineering company. The material was applied layer by layer and compacted with a heavy vibratory roller. Afterwards, it was documented through plate load tests. It was in September last year. The construction work started in March. Of course, it must be considered during the foundation: instead of strip foundations, there are slab foundations, but this is a common foundation and not rocket science.

Junk? Maybe we’re talking past each other. We have a basement living area where you can go out to the garden at ground level with your own terrace, etc. There you have the perfect all-purpose room / party room / wellness area / granny flat or whatever you want to make of it. We might have junk up in the attic :) It’s also true that living needs change over the decades. For example, I can well imagine that our dear child will have their own space down there with a kitchen, etc. at age 18-25 – or a relative in need of care requires help. Or – or – or. I can’t do any of that if I just fill in the slope.

If I fill in my property, I simply take away many possibilities. It’s just a shame for the beautiful hillside plot, you can really make something of it. And if not, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just buy a flat piece of land :rolleyes:

BTW, how much money do you need to support the slope you’ve artificially created? You have to factor that against the 90k. You’ll quickly realize that you’ve just wasted great space for cheap money. But everyone can decide for themselves.

Distant acquaintances planned and built (albeit with a basement, but) with a massive embankment. In the end, the landscape gardener came and threw a spanner in the works. Too steep.

The problem is easy to find right from the start. I observed this here. Those who simply embanked and then took care of the property later built with prefab house provider XYZ. They usually just want a quick deal and say "embanking no problem." We experienced this ourselves, which is why, after long research, we ultimately ended up with an independent planning office/architect – with whom we immediately discussed the terrain profile and planned all terraces and embankments. It’s simply a different world because you don’t just look at the house and the property each on its own.

Exactly. From the perspective of the prefabricated house seller, the "problem" lies in the customer's hesitation before signing. His interest-driven opinion is (legally) not misinformation for which someone could sue him. And since everything that happens before the top edge of the floor slab regularly does not belong to his scope of services, he can not care about the Pyrrhic victory (to avoid a 90k expensive basement by taking replacement measures for 91k). Commission in the bag, all good! ;-(

exactly! That's what it's about - see post #1

By the way, I wrote it here: It is always an individual decision; the topography is different everywhere if you don’t build on a flat greenfield. Of course, building and planning regulations must be observed.

However, we planned freely. On one of our neighbors on the right, we only had to pile up slightly; the other originally also wanted to pile up but now wants a ramp instead of piling up at our boundary. Therefore, we had to build a retaining wall there. The costs for the retaining wall are the only ones incurred so far for the piling up. The quite steep slope that has resulted is naturally no longer directly usable. Above it, I want to build a wooden flight terrace on supports.
