Percolation test fees

jjck85 · 2018-03-03 11:34:46

Anyone able to advise what the average cost for percolation tests are please? Looking to do a self-build in the countryside in Meath and need this done as part of the planning process. Any info/fees advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!

About 1k in dublin. Maybe a little less.

You have to hire a man and digger for the day.
Then monitor the water progress etc

Around 400-500 for the engineer plus you pay for the digger man down my way.
