ᐅ Single-family house without a basement on a slope

I estimate the relevant height difference for the basement here to be about one meter (3 feet). According to my basement formula, if you wanted to skip the basement, you would practically spend around fifty percent of the basement costs instead. In short, my basement formula states that avoiding a basement—also because things like L-shaped concrete blocks aren’t free—at a height difference of two meters (6.5 feet) ends up costing roughly the same as building one, and with less height difference, the costs are proportionally lower.

Spending an estimated over 500K to then live with a “bad” compromise that could be fixed for XX K (redesign)? No way…

Your architect seems to be an artist. A basement and a ground floor would have been sufficient here. Without having to move half the hill.

I would like to see the site plan with neighboring buildings. A Google Map view would be helpful as well.

More like a dreamer, especially if the surveyor has to be the one to point out that there is a slope. My grandmother would have seen it without glasses.

Not a dreamer, an idiot. Surveying the property is part of the basic preliminary investigations!

Request a redesign. Here, the obligation to optimize costs was clearly neglected.

@Andyru94
Which direction does the slope face?
Which state or province?

Before I forget, you will hardly find any pictures depicting such nonsense, because nobody simply builds something like that.

Is there development all around?
