HOW TO USE IT
How to use the Foundation Piering Cost Calculator
- 1
Count piers and depth: Each pier carries a base plus a per-depth charge. Count the piers the engineer specified and the driven depth for each.
- 2
Pier type affects cost: Steel push piers and helical piers are common for residential lifting; concrete piers suit new support points. Prices differ per type.
- 3
Access drives mobilization: Limited space, landscaping or long equipment runs add a mobilization charge. Quote it when access is tight.
- 4
Follow the engineer's plan: Piering is structural and needs an engineer's design, permits and inspection. Build your bid from that plan.
