Total foundation cost: $4,240.63This estimate covers 17.24 cu yd of ready-mix concrete, 544 LF of rebar, and 272 LF of form boards for a continuous perimeter foundation. Always confirm footing dimensions with your local building code.
Consider scheduling a pump truckFor pours over 10 cu yd, a concrete pump truck often saves labor time and ensures the stem wall forms are filled evenly. Budget an extra $800-1,500 for pump rental.
This is a material estimate only. Foundation requirements vary by soil conditions, frost depth, and local building codes. Always consult a structural engineer and your local building department before pouring.
