Flat (Minimal earthworks)

Flat (Minimal earthworks) — Illustrative diagram

Flat (Minimal earthworks) is a building-planning choice included in the Price Your Build estimator. It can affect earthworks, retaining, stormwater movement and access.

What this option means

Binds layout processing directly to baseline clearing and site prep assemblies.

Why it affects the estimate

The estimator uses this selection to apply an appropriate allowance. Actual requirements depend on the final design, site conditions, supplier selection and contractor scope.

Before proceeding

  • A site survey and geotechnical assessment should guide the final cut-and-fill, retaining and drainage solution.
  • Compare the final specification and inclusions against quotations before appointing a contractor.
