Because until now only opinions instead of knowledge have been used as arguments. It is generally known that prefabricated house providers can only build on greenfield sites; many of them even require the foundation slab from the builder before they deliver the house. If they agree to build a basement, it will be extremely expensive anyway. Building on a slope without a basement is only possible with embankment.I think the OP was asked, since after all it was about the Elk house. But you do. Already since your #18.. I’m reading on my phone and had to scroll first because of your "I have" statement (or not ;)) to see if Clarissa is writing.. because it’s about her problems.
If the question is to be answered with "no" – then Clarissa will have to dig into the slope. Because there are no other options to build on a slope without a basement. The 90k for a basement is unfortunately reality, although the figure is still from 2020. At that time, a well-known prefabricated house manufacturer quoted that amount for an 8x9 m basement.And the question must be answered honestly with no. Two points: 1. Of course, you can embank as you did. But making the slope area somehow safe and usable is incredibly expensive. And dead space is expensive too. Because you still have to stabilize it and usually plant it. Every planting must be maintained. Maintenance on a steep slope is dirty work. 2. You calculate the same house once with a foundation slab and once with a basement additionally. But with the slope, you can well accommodate living spaces in the basement and usually save yourself a floor. You then have to honestly calculate that back. And I find the 90k savings very high, even if you ignore slope stabilization and planting, as layered compaction also involves quite some work. And 90k extra for a basement I find high even on an absolutely flat plot. PS: Plant two trees right at the edge at the proper distance for a hammock. Otherwise, you won’t be floating that beautifully anymore.
