    Are you going to specify the concrete to be used e.g. 30N20?
    You can calculate the volume of concrete required and get the cost of that.

    Sorry for kind of highjacking this thread but can someone please state a price comparisson for traditional strip foundation and Raft foundation.

    If the Moderators think it is inappropriate I will start a new thread for this question
