ᐅ Is it possible to build a basement? Is it worthwhile?

Hello!

I just read an advertisement for a plot of land, and it included the following information. What does that mean in simple terms? Will the basement walls get damp, or do I need to insulate them extensively and expensively?

"The soil consists of cohesive material and is partly sandy and gravelly. No groundwater or perched water was encountered during the investigations. The finished road elevation is planned between 322.5 m and 323.5 m (1059.6 ft and 1063.3 ft) above sea level. Groundwater is expected only at depths of 4.5 to 5.0 m (14.8 ft to 16.4 ft) below the finished road level at the earliest. However, seasonal fluctuations may cause varying amounts of perched water to flow in."

For this type of construction, waterproofing against non-pressurized water is recommended, along with proper drainage. With these measures, the basement should be manageable without issues. A basement cannot be built without any waterproofing since it is an earth-contacting structure.

Sounds expensive.

It is a plot for two semi-detached houses. I would purchase one half. Theoretically.

Is it problematic or difficult if only I want a basement and the other party does not?

Sorry, but in your other thread, you already explained your financial situation. You were told that it’s not enough for a house. And now you even want to build a basement? Do you know how much that alone costs?

I created that thread earlier.

Besides that, what about full financing? Is there anything against that?
