July 17, 20242 yr Hi looking for some thoughts of costs to clear my site and build Block and beam foundations (details attached) Demolition and Clearance of a 2 bay garage Foundations for 9.4M x 15m 2 storey house to include utilities, and Soakaway Appreciate your thoughts and what a 'sensible' cost might be, access is good, large private plot See attached drawings, ask me any questions if more detail required thanks Foundations NEW House July24.pdf
July 17, 20242 yr Hi @Nytram a lot will depend on where you are building as this has a major impact costs , going into the ground will be your biggest unknown, if you were building in fenland i could give you numbers of groundworks companies who based on my 3 year old quotes would be less than 50k for the above. Although we didn't have any demolition to worry about we did have to build a 6m culvert to access the plot and remove 3 20m-30m tall trees before we could start on the 300m2 foundation which was also block and beam, total cost including both set of drainage and a lot of stone around the plot was 52k
July 18, 20242 yr Author Thanks @Buzz Im told our site is 'quite straightforward' we have done some preliminary digs and are on a chalk base (at 60cm), lots of space for manouveurs etc..... Ive been working with a groundworker and his estimate has just come in at 93K, for 3 weeks work, which frankly shocked me........Hence my reaching out. Im awaiting other quotes but was looking for early validation.
