                                   ground construction is avoided to
                                   minimise     building   bulk    and
                                   benching of the site. Split-level
                                   buildings with small floorplates are
                                   used as an alternative. Post and
                                   beam construction or suspended
                                   floor or pole footings may be
                                   appropriate.
