    Must say I find a bit of dichotomy between your above post and previous posts on the forum.

    Rather than ask for advice on the internet from people who I suspect have never built a brand new house from scratch, go and engage a local architect/builder.

    The OP's question about drainage is an engineering one, the average architect wouldn't have a clue.

    And asking the average builder for advice on design is a great way to end up with a project costing far more than it ought to cost for the same result.

    Your suspicions are most likely wrong.
