    My engineer recently designed my sewerage and percolation area along with mapping it out. Although I didn't have the detail of this it was already mapped out as it's required for planning permission.

    Anyway it came to almost €700 (inc. VAT). This also includes inspection and certification. Does this sound ok?

    Sounds reasonable Barney, mine was approx €1250 and that was 4 years ago but she did have to come back twice due to some anomalies with the "p" and "t" results - soil wasn't great either

    Just to be clear this did not entail the initial soil tests (test holes) and analysis required for the planning permission stage.

    Hmmm ok , well I have a klargester system and I paid about 3.5k for the system and about another 1k for ground work, percolation pipe, pea gravel etc etc but the actual percolation area plan with levels etc was included but looking at the plan again there it seemed to have been drawn up by klargester (king span) themselves - perhaps the authorised klargester dealers get this as part of the package as my chap didn't do it himself that's for sure! Was submitted to planners without any issue

    Anyone else have an idea of costs for this? Even for the inspection and sign off for percolation area so I can work out the rest?
