^^This is good advice which should not be ignored!
Uphill water and soupy clay ground-shift will cause havoc later on.
Then everything is not 'finished'.
Foundation cracks. Walls shift. Cabinets attached to drywall fall off.
You will have to deal with another crisis again. Later on.
So do it right the first time.
It is your own investment.
