Dream job just came in

[Forestboy1978]

Who am I though mmmwhahaha

If you figure it out you can probably go higher cos I don't think 20% is enough...

and good luck to you if you can do it for less

[dig dug dan]

Crack on. Anyone else will struggle without somewhere to tip the soil, so I think your price reflects this

[rab1]

make sure you are specific in what you will do and you are including in your quote, the exclusions are really important

[Forestboy1978]

still working on it.. price is going up...

Factoring in rest areas it's 160m2 ish

70+ trips to the recycling centre with spoil

90 - 100 back with limestone. Obv want to do a return trip with limestone where possible but it wont always be possible.. jesus (excuse pun)

[GB_Groundworks]

There has to be an easier way than 150 transit runs pm me the address etc so we can have a look at google maps etc

Big is not always beautiful, remember that and you won't go far wrong.

It's easy to get carried away wanting the bigger jobs but you've got to look at what you can do/make with smaller jobs and a whole lot less risk and hassle.

[Forestboy1978]

How much cheaper to get concrete pumped in you reckon. Look shit but....

I can't see it being much cheaper as most of this is disposal costs.

I understand what you're saying Dave but this job WILL get me those small jobs. It's also 6 week work for us and if i price it right it wont be 6 weeks of squeaky bum time..

[Dave_L]

Get a price from a local contractor for bitmac surfacing. Make sure it is a hardstone 6mm surface course. Pumped concrete will be a pain!

[Forestboy1978]

Damn this is big....

Still working on it. I better get it. There's so much more to it than a 10x15 patio

[Forestboy1978]

finally hit the enter button. I had a look at the site today and found somewhere. I've stipulated that the quote is based on storage of spoil in that location and it will require the reduction of 2 bay trees.

Still went high on it. It's complicated and full of logistical problems.

We'll see....

For the stone you could always just get a load dropped on the road then spend a few hours shifting 20t with the difference and dumper it's not ideal but it works

Can I? But where to shift to? I'm speaking to them tomorrow to see if it can be grabbed out of the truck and positioned exactly where I want it. If not, yeah, that'll have to do.

[rxbren]

You'd have to get enough dug out to fill directly with stone at least you will only be shifting it once

[Forestboy1978]

Still no reply......

Doubt I'll get it. 10 hours I spent thinking about it.. sigh

Thanks for all the support btw

It'll be do-able, just depends on budget. Im just finishing a 45k job with very limited access, everything has come in and out with a 4 wheel grab.

And I've done it on my own :p

Sounds like an interesting job, are there no neighbours with a decent sized garden? Would they be willing to rent your their lawn for use a depot whilst you do the work and put it all back to how it was when done?

Did you say you have a drive you could use as a depot? if its not a new driveway id be tempted to use it and grab the spoil away from there and grab your hardcore onto your drive and dumper it to site a 1 tonne high tip..thats how I've been doing this one, its no perfect i suppose, depends on how busy the street is.....but may be your best bet?
