I built with Metricon. Maximum slope they do is 2m which gives 2-3 steps inside the house with a high ceiling in one part of downstairs. Here is an option to consider. Hire a bobcat to push dirt around to level the area to less than 1m slope over the 600m2 building pad. Will take 3-4 hours so cost less than $500 and will be considered as uncontrolled fill. Then get a survey done on the new slope which will cost around $500. So for $1000 you are within the parameters of volume builders. Then take quotes from volume builders. If the site cost of volume builders is less than $9000, you will be saving from doing a $10-30k proper controlled fill. Thanks Nabeelc, that's a great idea, and low risk as if it doesn't work out then no harm done. Do you have a thread for your build? 2 4349 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5295 If you're in a flood zone, not only are you dealing with the importation of fill and laying it down in 150 lifts to achieve compaction, you're going to have to consider… 4 5532 |
