Topographical maps are really important in building design. They help us understand the land better.
Elevation Changes: About 30% of problems with building projects happen because we don’t think enough about the shape of the land.
Drainage Patterns: Planning for drainage the right way can lower the chances of flooding by up to 50%.
Slope Analysis: If the slope of the land is more than 15%, we might need to build retaining walls. This can add $10-15 to the cost for each square foot.
Using topographical maps to guide our choices can make projects more sustainable and better for everyone.
