You Won't Believe the CHALLENGES of Building on a SLOPE!
Building on a Sloping Site? Here’s What You NEED to Know
We’re finally on site and kicking off the build – but not without a few doubts. In this episode, I take you through the real start of construction: setting up profiles, reading the set-out plan, and dealing with that moment when the house looks way too high off the ground.
I’ll show you:
✔️ How to read and use a set-out plan
✔️ Why your house might look too elevated (and why that’s okay)
✔️ How earthworks and finished floor levels are decided
✔️ The importance of trusting the process – and your team
A huge shoutout to Anna from Prime Designs – she worked with me for hours refining the floor level, steps to ground, and site cuts until everything felt just right.
Whether you're a builder, apprentice, or just curious about how to build on a slope, this video will walk you through the critical early decisions that shape the entire build.
