ᐅ The plot of land needs to be leveled – how much does that typically cost?

This can only be answered if you know where the house and the garage will be located. Where is north? Is the wall at the top an existing structure from the neighbor? Dimensions of the building plot are also helpful.

Theoretically, yes. Keep in mind that building up the ground usually also means retaining it. Using L-shaped retaining walls on both sides of the road could easily reach five figures.

There are too many variables; you need to check on site. Anything between 20,000 to 100,000 could be possible.

And we’re talking about 2 m (6.5 ft) retaining walls along the entire length. That’s too much for a mere embankment.
Does the development plan / building permit even allow that?
By the way, good soil means soil quality zone 0; in zone 1.1, costs can easily double, and so on.

Just tell me how much you’re willing to spend to have a flat plot so we know your limit and can decide whether it makes sense to continue this discussion.

Would it be possible to remove the high spots by 0.75 m (2.5 feet) and use that material to fill the lower areas so that the levels meet?

That is definitely the better approach. For the setback areas, a gentle slope will probably be sufficient.

Answers to some questions would be helpful. What does the building permit / planning permission specify regarding the floor height? Where is the garage allowed to be placed? Is a basement planned?

The costs also depend on the type of soil and the construction method, such as the type of slope or retaining wall, as well as the parameters described by @hanghaus2000.
Building against the terrain is significantly more expensive than building with it and is rarely more appealing. Leveling the ground costs roughly as much as taking a 10-year summer vacation 😉. Of course, just like the effort required for a summer vacation, the effort needed for leveling is also hard to estimate.

The question now is what we will build. Originally, the plan was to build with a slab foundation and have everything at the same level. I think if leveling the ground costs around 20,000€ (about 22,000 USD), that would be acceptable since I want to make use of the plot.

If you set the floor heating in the ground floor to 208.65, you will have solved it with very little effort.

How much traffic is there on the adjacent roads?
