After constructing our model of our proposed project we find that the building needs to be moved back. I have the site topo installed and graded out with various surfaces such as parking landscaping, curbing etc declared as separate surfaces
How do I move the building. I am getting constraint errors when i move the building and the building is all screwed up. SO I undo. How do I globally or universally remove all constraints? Is this a good or bad thing to do.

Typically the site information should be in a linked file. This greatly simplifies moving the building around on the site as there are no constraints to linked files. You can copy all of the site stuff into a new file and delete it from your building file, then link them.

If the site information is in a linked file then how does one make void areas in the linked topo for basement modeling using the PAD command.

You should still be able to use the pad tool in the site file.

If I understand MongooseST7 the issue is when editing the site data it is in a seperate file with no reference to the location and or condition the structure poses. Perhaps copy & paste an outline of the proposed structure to assist you in the editing the site. No doubt you will constantly have to refer between the two files.

You can link your building model into the site and the site into the building model. Just make sure the link is on overlay and not attached. If it is set to attached, it will create a circular reference. FYI, to have them open at the same time, you will need two sessions of Revit running on your computer.

Tools>project location/orientation>relocate this project Very dangerous. But pretty cool. Practice on a file before you go for broke.

Hey that’s great advice, but I am looking for something along these lines...let say you have a column grid and everyone working on that grid for month..now it's been decided to move the grid 1' north, 8" south and then drop the elevation by 2".....see all models are referenced into Intergraph package and several disciplines work on that model....
