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
