Building on a sloping or steep site is not without its challenges
Additional excavation or fill, often with retaining walls, may be needed to achieve a desirable landscape for your home site, and a soil test and slope stability report will be needed to determine any structural engineering required. Access to the site and off-street parking may be a consideration, and in many cases, some stairs will be required for access through the house
BEAT has designed a number of homes for steep and sloping sites, using a range of build options including split and multi-level, and utilising a variety of structural support techniques
