Hi everyone!

It just means that there is a slope to the ground and there will be some additional facing brickwork to part of the house.
Ask to see the levels drawing in more detail so that you can see where the extra facing brickwork is located.0 -
Usually ground level is 150mm below internal floor level. Sometimes, to suit the site, it's (much) lower externally -that's the exposed underbuild. It's no big deal.0
