Answer45 - It is always better to build both the compound floor and the structure above the road level.Left the foundation for the compound floor be at leasttwo feet above the road level, Let the house (structure) itself be at least two or three feet above theground level. Generally speaking if you observe temples, you will find that they are built on a higher level than the ground. Taking the life of a building as about fifty years,there is always the possibility of the height or the road slowly increasing over a period of time. It is therefore all the more necessary that the structure is built at a higher height of avoid flow of rain water etc. from the road into the building or compound.
