Site Prep/Land Stabilization: Ballpark figure

[Tommy C.]

Hey BP! 

I'm looking for a ballpark number in regards to the prep costs on a new build. The property I'm interested in is on the side of a mountain (literally). I've got some ideas as to how to design the house so I can utilize the slope in the most efficient way. I'm inexperienced with mountain builds and the site preparation, grading, and land stabilization that is involved so I really don't know what to expect. Here is a photo of a road side view for perspective as well as a survey/topo. For every 18 feet into the mountain, the elevation rises by 10' (approximately).The utilities are already ran to the roadside... Let me know what you guys think the site prep would cost in Utah! Cheers.

Start with the county and see what their requirements will be.  This will most likely be VERY expensive.
