Local conditions
Raised decks and runoff from above
Walk-out basements on sloped lots mean the main-floor deck often sits 8 to 12 ft up. Posts, beams, bracing and stairs drive the price, and engineering is common.
Uphill runoff is the other thing to plan for. Water coming down the slope can pool around footings, so ask how the builder will keep posts and footings out of standing water.
