It will be either a 30x40 or 30x48.
You need to find another builder. It is his responsibility to have the dirt work done correctly. If you do it, and you do a poor job, how could he build a quality building?

For a pole barn you only need to make the worksite level enough to work on. You can backfill inside the barn (inside skirt boards) afterwards for final leveling. Whether or not this makes sense depends on the barn, the site, available pole length, and other factors, so I'm just giving general advice. I have built a couple on sloped ground and the downhill side just gets an extra skirt board. Fill and level the inside with gravel.

So far, it has worked out well, that is if you ignore the fact I should have made it twice as large
Thanks - this is basically what the builder would like for me to have prepared. Another option for me would be to rototill the sod first, and then scoop it out with the loader. That might be a little easier. After I removed the base sod I would level it out with either the box blade or soil pulverizer.
