My wife has some land which we plan to build on but she wants it raised approx 1 metre so it will be the same height as the neighbours land to one side which they have also raised, last thing we want is to be swamped by their water run off when it rains hard.
Have looked at a few threads and get conflicting views on how long to leave the land to settle - one person says 6 mnths, then someone else 2 years. To confuse things even more my wife phoned a thai friend who had land raised and he said as long as the supporting pillars are driven deep enough you can build straight away....
So what is the best time period to let land settle? The land isn't massive - approx 60 ft x 150 ft and will be used to just build a house and have a nice garden (with no chickens....crowing away at all hours, they will be on the BBQ when the time comes
).
Thanks
