a lot-grading plan is required to get a building permit.
This drawing shows your property, it's dimensions, the proposed location of your new house, and how the ground around your house will slope. It may also show things like swales, fences, and easements. Your builder may arrange for the drawing to be done, but you should let them know that you want to approve it, because once the lot grading plan has been approved, changing it is a difficult process.
lot-grading plan shows more information than the legal survey, which basically show property dimensions and bearings.
