Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 02, 2018 9:46 pm Hi all, About to pull the pin and purchase a nice bit of land for the wife and I, We'd love to put a MOJO enigma 46 or similar on it rather than a split / tri level, based off the attached drawing (LOT 203) do you experts think this is possible! I appreciate all the help and am looking forward to being an active member of this forum for our future house build!

You’d want to keep the fall less than a metre across the build platform if you want a standard slab. You also need to be aware if council have any regulations, we have a maximum 500mm cut and 500mm fill, with maximum retaining walls of 800mm..they are forcing people to build with the slope. In saying that in our current home we have a step down of 600mm, so our front is 9foot ceilings and our back is 11 foot ceilings, we have no retaining front or back, I much prefer this than drop edge beams etc Re: Another sloping story 4Jul 03, 2018 2:29 pm gogo65 It looks like you’ve got a 10m fall from front to back, how long is the block?

It’s 70M from front to back so I think that ends up being a slope of 14%. We don’t necessarily have to have a slab house if we find a design for split or tri level we like we’d be more than happy to go with that Re: Another sloping story 5Jul 03, 2018 3:39 pm nickbak92 gogo65 It looks like you’ve got a 10m fall from front to back, how long is the block?

You can add 50-100k for split/double story options. Howdy all. I am looking for feedback on what people would do to maximise and make an area as flat as possible.
