Site geometry illustrates the relationship between the house, hillside and planned levels. Read each elevation with its source; unverified geometry is not a field setout.

01 / SPECIFY

What the plans call for.

Check each elevation, grading requirement and drawing reference together.

Grading specifications and drawing references
Element	Specified level / requirement	Source	Status

02 / DEFINE THE SCOPE

Define the work below the house.

Use these boundaries when requesting proposals and coordinating adjoining trades.

03 / ESTIMATE

A visible pricing basis.

Planning allowances for grading and site improvements.
Confirm scope and quantities with trade proposals.

Low planning allowance—

Favorable scope and procurement assumptions

Base planning allowance—

Reconcile with the existing project estimate

High planning allowance—

More demanding site and earthwork assumptions

Planning figures are not contractor quotes. Reconcile this breakdown with the existing site allowances; do not add it twice. The original project estimate is not automatically revised by this review.

04 / CLOSE THE SCOPE GAPS

Resolve before staking or excavating.

A missing detail or unpriced interface is a coordination item; it is not automatically an added charge.

SOURCE DOCUMENTS

Return to the drawings.

Review the coordinated survey, civil, architectural, structural and geotechnical documents before release. The visualization shows scope and level relationships; earthwork quantities require a verified existing-to-proposed surface takeoff.
