What determines the price of a foundation or repair?

For a new foundation

• The number of piles or ground screws, which follows from the size, weight and bearers
• The length and type: the deeper the bearing ground, the longer or heavier the pile
• Access: can a tracked machine get there, or does it take hand-held machines through a narrow passage
• Whether you install yourself with a rented machine or have us install

For foundation repair

• The number of push piers, usually one every 1.5 to 2 m under the settled walls
• The depth of the bearing layer
• Whether lifting is needed too
• Access and how close a truck can get to the house
• For resin: the number of injection points and the area

What you save

With a screw pile foundation, digging, soil removal, formwork and waiting time disappear. For smaller projects it is therefore often cheaper than concrete. With a repair from the outside you do not have to move out.

Comparing a quote

• Does it state the number, type and length of the piles?
• Is there a check per pile, such as torque or jacking pressure?
• Do you get an installation report?
• Has the cause of the subsidence been investigated?
