Thanks all. What is the typical additional cost to expect if you add the drain tile in the interior side of the footing also. Assuming about 250 linear feet. Thanks!
I am building new construction and was wondering what side of the foundation wall/footing should I put the drain tile. On the exterior side, interior or both? Is putting it on both overkill?
Thanks!

You are absolutely correct. I meant "main" not "service". This lot is not part of a new development. It is a teardown for a house that was built in the 50s. So I was hoping to get an opinion on a price assuming the stub was not there.
Thanks.
Thanks cvg. Hopefully this helps.
1. Western Suburbs - Cook County
2. Local Street
3. Asphalt
4. maybe 2 lanes, quiet street (30mph?)
5. Not sure how deep (just assume standard)
6. Not sure if it is PVC or VCP (assume more expensive)
7. Assume no.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I am looking to put together a budget for a property that I am considering building a home on. The water service is on the same side of the house, the sewer service is across the street. Approximately how much extra will it cost to have to go under the street to utilize the sewer?
Thanks for the responses. I need to determine if I am going to go ahead and purchase this lot and build on it. At the end of the day I have 2 borings and know the soil is mostly clay. I would build a basement that is similar to a split level home (4 feet above grade and 5 feet below). Also, I...
Thanks MSquared 48. To answer your questionos.
Neighor is a commerical property assessor.
Been there 20+ years.
May have an agenda. Dont know him well.
Borings were taken in December 2012.
Soils are clay.
Not sure what the neihbor is considering. He doesnt have a basement. Said 15 years ago...
I got back my soils report for residential lot that I am looking to build a house on. During borings, the neighbor told me that there is a high water table in this area and for me to be carful if I am considering building a basement. Did 2 borings and the Recorded Water Levels, W.D./A.D. came...
Thanks GeoPave.
Its more of the latter. Borings are 25' deep, there will be lab testing done and it will be signed by a PE. Just wondering why the price would be so low compared to all the other proposals. One was at $1,250. The other 4 were all around $2,300 or above.
I sent invitations for proposals to several geotechnical firms. The price ranged from $1,250 to $3,000 eventhough the scope of services were the same. What is the reason for such a range? What is a fair price? Does $1,250 seem too cheap that I should be concerned?
