Slope & Grade
A sloped lot isn't a problem — it's an opportunity. Grade change can be turned into finished living space with a walkout basement, or used to create a dramatic entry sequence with a split-level plan. The key is choosing a plan designed for the slope, not fighting it.
Why it matters
- →Walkout basements turn grade change into bonus finished space at low cost.
- →Split-level plans are designed for moderate slopes and feel natural on the land.
- →Steep slopes require careful foundation planning — not all plan types work.
