I have some figures I need about holes in the ground, retaining walls and soak aways

Exciting stuff for a Sunday evening.........

But if anyone does know the costs involved in this - I would be most grateful

for a house but you never know gives an indication. Hi how are the nerves?

Thanks Ali

I am at a quite detailed stage atm (I am comparing the cost of a hole/retaining wall/soakaways with ramps

So far the ramps are coming up very expensive

Why are the ramps so expensive. All the footings presumably that are needed to secure the concrete in place?

Katymac · 24/09/2006 21:50

They have to be kitemarked and BS's and that makes them cost out as if made in gold (apparently)

For goodness sakes - what is the world coming too!! And it's now law that these things have to be disabled friendly.

Hmmmmm

But a hole costs money too
