cotas de la pendiente
Explanation:
grading costs --- costos de nivelación.

Casi siempre el costo de nivelación al ras es elevado.
Puede ser más económico permitir una cierta pendiente lo cual redunda en un menor movimiento de tierra. El agrimensor fija las cotas mediante postes marcados que indican de donde sacar y donde poner la tierras.
