Hello,
perhaps you could provide me with a cost estimate.
A single-family house without a basement, approximately 107 square meters (1151 square feet), is to be built. At the rear, the foundation slab needs to be raised by 70 cm (28 inches) due to the slope.
Additionally, there are 7 trees located in the area of the foundation slab that need to be removed. When removing the roots, deep holes are created, so it will likely be necessary to create a complete foundation cushion.
What could this cost?

First, I would level the foundation slab, lowering the front by 35 cm (14 inches) and raising the back by 35 cm (14 inches). This allows for a gentler slope, and it might be possible to avoid using retaining walls at the back. Of course, the sewer manholes should be deep enough to dispose of waste without the need for pumping. I can’t comment on the trees. If the leveling works out, the costs should not exceed 8,000. Our house is very similar—about 13.5 by 10 meters (44 by 33 feet) of living space, built uphill, with no trees. After leveling, the earthworks invoice for soil removal, sand delivery, and excavator hours totaled 6,700 including tax. We were able to do without a retaining wall, and later a staircase from the street to the house won’t be necessary either; a simple path uphill will suffice.
