COMMENTS

This price is based on fairly easy digging, and truck delivery of concrete-- for a large number of piers, or in association with other work requiring concrete delivery.

For a small job, add 1/2 hour per pier for hand-mixing of concrete. You might also need to add some unskilled labor for more difficult digging conditions.
