The Foundations and Footings for Block Wall Estimating Calculator is used to calculate the Labour, Materials and Plant content and costs of constructing the foundations and footings for block walls.
The Foundations and Footings for Block Wall Estimating Calculator calculates the following items:
- Foundations
- Underground blockwork
- DPCs
- Plus all labour associated with the above
The Foundations and Footings for Block Wall Estimating Calculator is linked to the Specification.
NOTE:
- You must pay careful attention to the depth and characteristics of the foundation and the method of disposing of spoil as very large differences in cost can arise from the need for deep foundations which require expensive shoring and large amounts of excavated waste disposal. Wherever possible excavated material should be disposed of on site by adjusting the height of the ground floor slab.
