Why Complex Hill Sites are Different.
Hill sites aren’t like flat sections. Things like slope, soil conditions, access, drainage, and retaining etc etc can have a major impact on:

-
How much it will cost
-
How complex the build will be
These are decisions you want to make before committing to a design or a section.
