ᐅ Is the foundation slab planned to be too deep?

Hi everyone,
I was at the construction site today and was a bit surprised at how deep our house is set... maybe the site is playing tricks on me, but I looked it up and most houses have the finished floor level about 30cm (12 inches) above ground level.

If the slab is really too low, that would explain why we have so much excavation. (The architect said during planning that there wouldn’t be much excavation and it could be spread on the property.)

Regards,
Marvin

You’re probably right. He also mentioned that it seems that way because the municipality originally wanted to level the entire area, but we are basically too high, meaning they didn’t remove enough soil.

Let’s see if they can still move the excavation material aside so they can set up the scaffolding on Wednesday!
