Hi guys,
My wife and I are getting really close to starting our house build. We are building in a well known moobahn where flooding is not an issue. Our contractor wants us to fill our land with dirt to level it all out and to make our property slightly higher than the street. He said if we only fill in about a meter of dirt than we don't need to worry about leaving it to settle, and can start building on it almost immediately.
Any thoughts on that? Most everything I read on here says to leave it to settle for a while before building.
Thanks
