If they are building 9 inch brickwork to hold the fill they will need decent foundations. You also have to be careful with a deep hard-core fill with regard to future settlement. On site anything over 600mm has a suspended floor.
Raised patios do cost more because of this extra work, and also the steps down to the garden.
Also depends on the access to the job.1 -
And therein lies the problem....in my eagerness to maximise my home's footprint my home is for all intents and purposes a terrace (the 1" gap between this and my neighbour's crumbling garage has little practical use) with no rear access. Getting a digger through my home is less than ideal!stuart45 said:If they are building 9 inch brickwork to hold the fill they will need decent foundations.
