davidherzog9527 Jan 2019 15:38Hello, my name is David,
I am 23 years old and last year I purchased a sloped plot of land measuring 1000 square meters (10,764 square feet), which I have now paid for 90 percent. I would like to start building soon. My personal budget is 300,000 euros.
My question regarding the planning process is: does the architect also design the exterior landscaping, and is this part of the building permit / planning permission application? Because retaining walls need to be built, and their structural calculations must be done. Or is that usually planned by the excavation company, and only the house plans are included in the building permit / planning permission application?
Best regards,
David

The slope is included in the structural analysis. The basis was, among other things, the report from the geologist.
The structural design is part of the building plan (e.g., thickness of the wall on the slope side, ceiling).
The slope with the retaining wall was shown in our building application; I’m not sure if that was necessary or just because it was existing.
With a budget of $300,000 including incidental construction costs, you won’t get far on a sloped site.
Unless you have a mason, plumber, and electrician among your friends and you’re ready to spend the next two years enjoying the construction work.
