We are currently building a single-family house (9 m x 9.6 m [29.5 ft x 31.5 ft], no basement) on the site of an old house. The old house was demolished several months ago.
The plot is about 1000 m² (10,764 ft²).
We need to decide whether to keep the soil on our property or remove it.
It would be advantageous to keep the soil on site to avoid additional costs (approximately 180 m³ [6,360 ft³], 26 EUR per m³, about 5,000 EUR) and to later spread and reuse it in the garden.
However, I think the "soil" is actually sand (from the company that demolished the old house), so it may not be very suitable for further use in the garden.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of keeping the soil versus removing it?
