Should a hanging plot be filled for a ground slab?

Junk? Maybe we're talking past each other. We have a basement apartment where you can go directly out to the garden with your own terrace, etc. There you have the perfect multipurpose room / party room / wellness area / granny flat or whatever you want to make of it. Junk with us is perhaps in the attic :) It is also true that over the decades, housing needs change. For example, I can well imagine that our dear child has their own territory down there with a kitchen etc. from 18 to 25 years old - or a relative in need of care requires help. Or - or - or. I can't do any of that if I simply fill in the slope.

If I fill in my property, I simply take away many options. It’s just a pity for the beautiful sloping property; you can definitely make something out of it. And if not, I don’t understand why you don’t just buy a flat lot :rolleyes:

BTW how much do you need in euros to shore up the slope you artificially created? You have to compare that against the 90k. You quickly realize that you simply wasted great space for cheap money. But everyone can decide that for themselves.

so that we don’t misunderstand each other: of course you can build a basement in a slope and there is nothing against it, on the contrary. If the budget allows it. But the topic of the thread was the development of the slope without a basement.

We spend a lot of time in Upper Valais and there is only hillside, mostly steep slope. The plot of the holiday home is probably close to 19% as far as I can estimate. The house was built into the slope, yet there is still a huge embankment in front. 40-45 degrees steep.

Almost nothing grows there except grass and thorn bushes because rain immediately runs off on the surface and thanks to direct southern exposure, the soil dries out very quickly. The grass has to be mowed 2-3 times a year with a brush cutter, which is really no fun given the steepness.

But you don’t want to build the house into the slope but free-standing. That means you’ll get a significantly larger embankment. We measured it last week because I planted a few little trees into the slope. In the middle, the embankment is about 5.5m long, which results in about 4m height and depth of loss. You will have even more.

Prefabricated house - EBK house (we will build a timber construction)

I didn't know the manufacturer and therefore googled it. The sentence under the link to the website made me smile: "EBK Haus GmbH offers single-story single-family houses and holiday homes in Danish design made of wood." Danish design is nice and all, but you are in the wrong place with a "flat foundation slab and house on top" provider.

We have filled and compacted about 700 m³ on our plot. Thus, we saved about 90k for the basement.

I would be very interested in the look of the house on the plot. Are you willing to show photos of it?

there is not much to see yet, the floor slab is not even in place. On the street side, you cannot see any of the fill, the newly created level of the property is, as with the OP, at street level. Pretty unspectacular. The slope is at the back, behind it an undeveloped meadow

Danish design is all well and good, but you are in the wrong place with a "flat slab and house on top" provider.

:-) Unfortunately, providers for explicit hillside houses are "reserved for the land of wishful thinking" ;-) In addition, providers of wooden houses are generally reluctant to implement living spaces in the basement (as is generally preferred by masonry contractors to also offer the basement). However, I generally advise including the basement (or the slab) in the scope of services of the house provider (due to the responsibility for the sensitive interface OKKD).

there is not much to see yet,

If not yet real, then certainly the plans. This "construct" would also interest me.
