The Foundations and Footings for External Cavity Wall Estimating Calculator is used to calculate the Labour, Materials and Plant and costs associated with constructing foundations and footings for an external cavity block wall.
The Foundations and Footings for External Cavity Wall Estimating Calculator calculates the following items:
- Foundations
- Underground blockwork
- Below DPC brickwork
- DPCs
- Plus all labour associated with the above
The Foundations and Footings for External Cavity 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.
