I just won a bid on a split level house pad. My question is this; the plans call for using the cut material for the fill material. The engineer has not calculated the quantity actually needed. So my concern is starting my fill in the right place. If I start the fill too far down, I won't have enough to reach my grade height. I made a jig to check a slopes angle, say2:1. Would it be terribly inaccurate to set the jig at the edge of proposed pad and then run a string down to zero grade? Small job, no grade setters, plus I've got a lot to learn!
Love to hear some thoughts.
