Been reading heaps but first time posting I'm also very interested to read any other bits of advice regarding the OP's question. Hubby & I are in a similar situation. Our block is (as quoted from the builder) "double the slope that we initially thought" so while he is now slugging us with a $20k retaining wall, we're looking into other options. Thankfully we haven't signed contracts with him (was initially a house & land pkg; land settles next month but nothing happening with the building contract yet.) If we did go ahead, he won't let us use anyone else except his people for the retaining wall as he doesn't trust anyone else's work, and would in fact not validate the warranty & possibly not even build. Hows that for pressure?!?! I'm not 100% sure on the slop/fall of the land, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking 2m-ish? Would a split level be more cost effective in this situation, or are we just destined for a nice big retaiing wall anyway?

Going through Premier Builders Group here in Melbourne, LP Warren are another good one for slopes. check out our blog for more info.
