Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Leveling sloping land 8Feb 06, 2017 7:08 pm Hi how much is the elevation? is it more than 1m? Sparkie Philip_J We had to change our design and seperate our house from our garage because of angles, gradients and trees. Once we did that we had more options with design and site positions. Don't know if it would help, depends on your plan and the shape and size of your block but it may be something. Thanks Philip. We are happy to have split slab and dropped garage but builders beilive these things are not good enough and we should push the garage toward back of the house which means wasting land on the side of the house. I have been told by friends to approach custom built builder but don't know how to find them. My land is pretty flat but elevated of the street.
