Slope for house pad

[KennyG]

General consensus seems to be keep the building footprint level and slightly slope away. I don't know if you are building on a slab or a foundation, but I would also suggest getting the slab more than a few inches above grade. Grade tends to get a little higher over time. I would also install drainage tile in stone completely around the base of the building and route to a low spot well away from the building.

bulldog,
The 200x200 area should have a gentle slope away from your foundation and from my experience with laser leveling one degree is plenty of slope. Too much slope will lead to erosion problems.

The foundation for the building should be dead level and raised about a foot as this will allow for changes in the future. Such as adding landscape rock or topsoil concrete walks and curbs.
