We did insist on building the house in the lower section, however after setting the forms in the location that we recommended, the customer insisted on moving the house back and reversing the plan! We told them this would result in a longer driveway and poorer drainage flow It is a acre tract We were still able to maneuver the water flow around the house Because the natural fall is higher in the backyard the drainage must go around to the front After establishing the final grade, there was a contractor that did drive through a section of the yard and create ruts that messed up the drainage flow We have since repaired that damage and proper flow has been reestablished This flow has been documented by a 3rd party inspector which is required by "Strucsure" Home WarrantyAs far as the crack(s) on the porch are concerned These are shrinkage/hydration cracks This is common There are no signs of structural failure at all Even the customers own Home Inspector listed on his report, "hydration cracks" were observed
