    HI,

    my question was (before it got side-tracked)....

    Hi

    I was hoping someone can help.

    i am looking to buy a site - which has planning for a house - one and a half storey, 2400sq ft.

    however, the site was initially down in a hole, and raised up using fill, raised up about 10 ft.

    does anyone know, what would be the costs involved, roughly?

    looking to hear from people who had to pile for the foundation of there houses - and a guide to the costs involved!!!!!!!

    thanks,
    Jo

    moved to prices forum.

    any response here should deal with approximates rates, and in no way should any structural advice be given

    that cant be priced. seriously, absolutley no way whatsoever to be able to price it based on whats said. Piling required could be all manner of needs, site could need a vibro compacted pile set up to stabilise the ground, concrete driven piles? bored auger piles? steel driven piles? and to what depth? how deep to the rock bed? it could be €10k, it could be €50k. who knows? it needs a site investigation report and trial holes and borehole tests done, and then for an engineer to specify the requirements.
