Default First fence post as a bench marker

One side of my house is overlook an Alleway (cars can drive). I want to build a fence similar to this one (click on the link below please)

My house is in similar situation of the picture above (instead of the green, my house is there).

Of course the fence is going to be build on my property side. I want a protection fence like the one in the picture because I am afraid in the Winter cars might slip and hit my house.

I started working and dig to install the Posts. There will be 6-8 post and the distance between them is 6' feet. My question, should I install the first post (put the gravel first and then concorete) and then wait to dry and then try to install pther post so I can use the first one as a bench mark when I try to make sure they all post are layed on the same level and the hight are the same. I thought it is good idea to do that. What do you think

Thanks a lot.
