It looks correct. I do not see any sketch circles that would verify that maximum and minimum slope requirements are met. You need to use them to space contours properly. I assumed that you did use them because your work looks accurate.

Thanks for your comments. I did use the the sketch circles to verify the slopes. Do you think 1st slope should be offset from the building or should be right next to the building.

On areforum....the site grading images posted have no offset.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by offset. The building elevation is 6" higher then first contour line that wraps around it. I think it should be spaced exactly as you show on the plan.

Both locations for the first contour lines are correct. But yours (space contour line from the edge of platform) is more robust. I would not align contour lines with the edge of the platform the way shown on the cad image. The vignette is graded by computer and slightly imperfection with the location of the contour lines may fail you.
