Stage 2 exclusions and additional costs:
Due to the nature of drainage connections and local authority, Scottish Water and Scottish Ecological Protection Agency regulations, it is difficult to give you fixed costs for drainage designs. In most cases it will be straight forward and we can give you the additional fee as a fixed cost, but this can’t be done until we have carried out some investigation and this will be site specific. An example of a standard septic tank and soakaway design solution would be in the region of £750 to carry out percolation tests and designs to satisfy the authorities and around £500 for a sewer connection.
All sites have different ground conditions and as such the cost allowed for foundation design is based on a flat site, with normal load bearing ground at a level of 600mm below existing ground level. Sloping sites and difficult ground may incur additional design costs, but this would be given to you in writing at the site investigation stage to avoid any surprises. |
