Hillside Foundation cost

[Igor Gjorgjiev]

Hi everyone,

I have a general question and any answer will be appreciated.

I am in thinking of purchasing lot in Los Angeles, CA. The lot is very sloped, to give you an idea, it is 140 feet in lenght and it slopes down 85 feet. I am planning to build 4,000 sq ft house including the garage on three levels. To have a solid return on this project; I don’t want to spend more than 300k on the foundation. Is this doable? If not, what would the worst case scenario be. I know this is very general question, but any input wil be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance. Igor
