Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION |
Concrete construction unit cost for installation
of concrete footings for a foundation or retaining wall.
This cost covers the cost per volume
for any size of footing. Use it in combination with the
footing cost per foot.
NOTE-- This is half of a two-part
unit cost that covers any footing size. Goldenseal also
includes one-part unit costs for footings in two common
sizes, 6x16 and 8x24. |
Unit Size |
One cubic yard of concrete placed in
footing forms.
|
Labor
Costs |
We figure that a crew of one skilled
worker and 1.5 unskilled workers can place about one cubic
yard of concrete in the forms per hour. This cost covers
placement of the concrete, screeding and finishing the
surface, and cleanup of tools.
This placement cost assumes parking the
concrete delivery truck at one end, with some of the footings
filled by chute and the rest lugged by wheelbarrow. Small
projects require less lugging but more setup time, which
tends to cancel out.
If you use a pumper truck you can reduce
the labor cost considerably, though you'll need to increase
the concrete material cost.
NOTE-- The cost of forms, reinforcing
and form removal is covered in the per
foot unit cost. |
Material
Costs |
The cost includes one cubic yard of
concrete, plus about 8% waste
factor.
|
Hard Construction Costs, Typical |
$159.52 per installed cubic yard
of concrete

Suggested
Quantity |

based on the width, depth and length of the footing (as
entered into the Foundation Dimensions screen).
