Default topsoil for lawn question

Apologies if this has been asked before but I have checked google and
couldn't find an answer butm aybe that's because I'm not phrasing my
search correctly.

Anyway - I'm doing a lawn. The level of the ground needs to be raised so
I'm going to need to buy topsoil. The problem I have is the condition of
the existing ground. It was recently a building site and is basically
hardcore stones and rubble with a fair amount of sand and poor quality
soil. What depth of good quality topsoil should I use for planting
grass? I don't need a bowling green type lawn but I don't want one which
is patchy either.

Thanks
