sand filling might be your best option. During raining season your plot might be flooded due to the flow of water. Sandfilling would take care of it.

no, it won't really take that much,you can hire a compactor,the small portable ones thats faster,and is the best option.

At <1000mm difference from plot to existing road level.......
Your structure type will depend on type of foundation to use and other considerations to adopt in the process.

Given normal conditions for good soil/land type
A foundation depth of 450mm/600mm (bungalows/single storey) can be used.
Run your blinding with appropriate concrete thickness, run a plinth beam (chain beam) after 5 course block work all round existing wall.
Assuming it will take 8 course of block work to attain a desired level above the existing road, you'll run your plinth beam on the 4th course and repeat the process on the 8th.

After you must have taken your foundation to the desired height you'll have to sand fill the remaining un-built surrounds which will address the effect of any form of flooding .
Find out the history of the land in the event of a heavy rainfall, the height of rain/flood water that's left standing on the land before it percolates and if there be run- offs from surrounding environment. That will give you a guide to what level to sand fill and the gradient to maintain during landscaping.
Reason is that you can choose to take your building to roofing level and sand fill the compound afterwards which is subject of time and availability of funds.

Welcome.

This will meaning having something like a basement depending on the desired height?
I think i prefer this approach of raising d foundation to a desired level before sand filling to Sand filling before construction. The fear of proper compaction btw d time of sand filling to construction has been my worry.

well it depends on your preference.
But for me I think sand filling is faster.Truth Is even if you raise the foundation you are still going to do some level of landfilling.

In terms of cost, sandfilling is cheaper.

But i think safety should precede cost.
Even if one use a compactor to compact the sand, it wont be as firm as a d existing soil. Because often time most people are pressed for time before construction.

For a thickness as much as 500mm to 1000mm, double roller drum roller is the best. The small plate compactor will not have much effect on it and must be properly soaked with water before compacting.

Yea, but its just one method out of numerous to achieve the intending purpose which also depends on so many environmental factors. I only mentioned that method because of the assumed difference in height of 500-1000mm to existing road. And by using this method the area and cost of sand filling the un-built areas on the plot will be minimized.

Yea, it depends on one's preference and a lot of factors to consider.
You'll have to do a cost analysis to prove that sand filling is cheaper. Probably you can do one using 1000mm filling height for a 50×100 ft plot.
