• Maximum height of new wall not to exceed 24”.
• Piers to be 4ft o.c. using p.t. 4×4 in concrete a maximum of 3ft deep.
• Lagging to be p.t. 2×12.

Exclusions
• Cost of plans, permits, bonds, testing and inspections.
• Increased cost of drilling or excavation due to hard rock, underground water or caving soils. (Hard rock drilling is defined as a penetration rate slower than 1 ft. in 5 minutes.) (Hard rock excavation is defined as material that cannot be excavated with a conventional backhoe or excavator bucket.)
• Demolition of any concrete footings greater than 18” deep or any concrete slabs or asphalt greater than 4” thick.
• Cost for any carpentry/woodwork except as outlined in this estimate.
• Any work on utilities including buried pipes or irrigation pipes.
