Need 1 m fill for a 2 ngan plot about 2 km north of downtown and 1 km east of RR tracks. Queries are suggesting a short supply & high prices with all the new projects going on there.

I want a ~ 1 m crawl space, would it be better to build 2 m high and fill 1 m after the fact and pour ground slab under house when driveway is poured?

If your building a pole home with or without piles you can do your fill anytime.... push under space up to 2-4m and there is your garage, laundry room toy box ,workshop at the end of the driveway...?

Hi David,

I thought that way for awhile, but I don't do stairs very well. Mostly, I want .7 - 1 m elevation for an open crawl space for utility access. and I don't fancy weeds under the house.

That being said, I'm back and forth on elevation as my mind tries to override my good sense.
