We have just received a quote for earthworks including removal and the complete installation of the pipes. The amount is over 40,000€ (over $43,000). We were completely shocked when we found out about this sum.

We have 400m³ (about 530 cubic yards) of top-quality sand, free of impurities – laboratory class Z0. The removal and disposal cost was 15,000€. If it’s not Z0, or if there are stones included, costs will quickly rise.

Excavation was included in the construction. But labor and machinery alone are surely around 2,000€ without any staking or marking.

Does that include the slab foundation?

Each utility connection costs about 1,500€: gas, electricity, water, sewage, internet. Total around 7,500€.

The first 20,000€ is gone. Is the subbase for the slab included? Does the soil need to be replaced?

The soil is very clayey, with no stones. There are no contaminants. A soil analysis is included in the offer.
