Hello,
I received a quote from our construction company for the preparation of a carport foundation:
- 12 pad footings, 40x40x80 cm (WxDxH)
- about 1 meter (3 feet) of drainage pipe (sewer/inspection chamber is right next to it)
- removal of the excavated soil is not included
=> €4,050 including tax
It should be noted that the house connections and the slab foundation are being done at the same time, so the structural builder doesn’t have to make a separate trip just for a few holes.
Is it very naive of me to have expected around €1,000?
They only need to excavate a few small holes and pour about 1.5 cubic meters (53 cubic feet) of concrete into the footing holes during the slab pouring, right?
What costs would you consider realistic?
Best regards

but the total amount the original poster was quoted is outrageous; it borders on exploitation.

stefanc8414 Oct 2017 15:30For the carport itself, they want a similarly high price, but I already have someone who can do it much cheaper. €5,000 in this case, without a storage room (walls). The roof area is about 50m² (540 sq ft).
