Hi,
We received our building permit / planning permission two weeks ago. It includes a recommendation to raise the house by an additional 25 cm (10 inches), but this is only a suggestion. However, it is a bit unsettling. Currently, the plan is for the finished floor level to be 15 cm (6 inches) higher than the street level. I actually thought this would be enough. The street is about 10 m (33 feet) away and slopes down towards the opposite side of the street.
What do you think about this?

At first, only the area of the house plus about 1.50 m (5 feet) all around is backfilled.
Are the frost skirts then placed 80 cm (32 inches) below the top of the backfill or below the original ground level?
Kind regards, Both
