How many yards of dirt would it take to bring this house slab up to grade? I received an estimate but it doesn't seem right to me. Thanks.

If you need more for the slope to get back to grade it will be more.
This is the number i came up with as well. Actually 300 cyds. But basically same as you. I was told more than double that, just wanted to make sure i wasn't crazy.

You’re right for loose yards to fill that pad drawn. Just remember your pad should have an apron that goes out 4-5’ past the edge of slab and unless you have a retaining wall, you’ll need additional dirt for sloping away from the house...preferably at a 6:1 slope for ease of mowing.

My guess is 100 loads by the time its all said and done.... minimum. I had a similar slope issue but my pad was wider than yours. I put 227 loads in mine including driveway and finish grade. Wish I had built it out more in the back because now we are looking at putting in a pool and dirt is certainly cheaper than concrete.
