Hole drilling will take around a day max, let's say another $800-1000. Pump rental - $250 per hour max + travel, let's say 4 hours +1 hour travel - $1250. So actual cost to the builder should be below $3K. But on the other side, your numbers do not add up, as 8x3x303 = $7272, not $16,362. Re: Piers for Retaining Wall 3May 19, 2020 2:14 pm Thank you for your reply. The actual area is North Wyong. Re: Piers for Retaining Wall 4May 19, 2020 2:27 pm Sorry, my mistake it should be 18 x 3m x $303/meter and not 8. Re: Piers for Retaining Wall 5May 19, 2020 2:29 pm Winne Huisman Sorry, my mistake it should be 18 x 3m x $303/meter and not 8. Still, only concrete and steel costs will change proportionally, the remaining costs will be the same. This would cost well under $4K to your builder.
