    Mine was sticking out of the ground 4' on one side and waaaaay more on the other. It happens, as long as you can blend it out.

    Filled in around the basement so they could actually park in a garage that was built 6-7' above the original grade. And get the floor of the basement below the frost line. Quite a few retaining walls.

    Yeah, but some don't and some are built on hillsides...I am just saying different situations require different measures. My house looked funny, till I backfilled and made retaining wall too.

    I worked on a house for my PEng that was on a sloped site with a 9' daylight basement and his whole 3 bay garage was on the main floor on an 8" thick suspended slab with rooms beneath the garage area

    A buddy of mine has stacked garages. Two on top entered from the front. Two on the bottom entered from the back. Daylight basement as well. Nice Chalet style home.

    Did they use heavy gauge corrugated sheets to pour that? I did my 24x10 wood room and still braced the center, cause I was worried about the concrete bowing the corrugated steele.

    It's owning the forms or renting the forms, that would be the deal breaker for me. The amount of rebar ant tied mats in one of those is insane. I would want a really good architect for a structure like that.
