Call 415-457-5658 for a prompt, reliable estimate from our experienced estimator. RWR has been doing foundation, excavation, and drilling work in San Francisco for over 24 years. You will see our trucks and equipment working in San Francisco neighborhoods like the Marina, Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Western Addition, Haight, Castro, Noe Valley, Twin Peaks and so on.

Here’s the kind of detailed estimate you can rely on, to correct foundation problems and perform structural work, including even zero lot line jobs that require our expertise:

This estimate is based on architectural drawings, civil drawings and structural drawings. The proposal is for the installation of a new reinforced concrete foundation per structural drawings as well as earth shoring system per structural drawings.

Scope of Work
Mobilization and Supervision
• Mobilize to jobsite. Demobilize.
• Supervision.
• Perform weekly cleanup.
Grubbing and clearing work area
• Grub and clear work site area of all vegetation (except trees and stumps) plus remove the cleared materials and strippings from site.

Existing house structure structural shoring
• Install combination of post, driven pipe pile and cribbing towers with temporary beams to support the existing house structure at elevation 140 as per plans. Installation of cribbing towers to be performed in conjunction with house foundation demolition operations and mass excavation for cribbing tower installation. Removal of cribbing towers once house is re-attached to new foundations (by others) is included.
House & Garage Foundation Demolition for New foundation Installation
• Demolish and remove from site the existing house foundation including the existing house chimney, concrete walkways, concrete stairs, existing garage foundation, existing garage structure & wooden deck, plus scrape existing driveway AC. Includes demolition of all visible concrete foundations for the installation of the new foundations shown on structural drawings. All soft demolition to be provided by GC. See requested broken-down prices provided on sheet one.
• Off-haul all demolished debris from site.

Tieback & shotcrete shoring installation
• Drill and install (116) at 60 kips (design capacity) 1” diameter double corrosion-protected 150 ksi diameter tieback bars in 6” diameter drilled shafts extending into soil as per plans (Includes bonded and un-bonded lengths). Off-haul drilling spoils from site.
Note: tiebacks are included at different embedment depths and with bonded and un-bonded lengths accordingly as shown on detail 1/S3.0. For the house, tiebacks at elevation 118’ = 39 ft. total embedment, @ elevation 124’ = 44 ft. total embedment & @ elevation 130’ = 49 ft. total embedment & @ elevation 136 (where applies) = 54 ft. total embedment. The same bonded un-bonded equation applies for the new car elevator area east, north and south sides @ elevations; 139’ 145’ 151’ & 157. An allowance for the installation of a total of 5107 total linear ft. of bonded and un-bonded lengths is included in this estimate.
• Install in sequence a 3” thick layer of reinforced concrete shotcrete in 5 ft. lifts for earth shoring purposes and interlock with a rebar whaler grid system installing a standard nut and 6”x6” washer to lock the temporary earth retention system as excavation proceeds downward.

Mass house foundation & car elevator excavation
• Excavate to new house foundation & sub-grades per elevations shown on drawings. No import is included in this estimate. All native spoils are assumed acceptable to be used for re-compaction.
• Off-haul excess soils from site.

Pier installation
• Drill and install (61) 18” diameter x 20 ft. deep maximum reinforced concrete piers. An allowance of 1220 linear ft. of reinforced concrete piers is included.
• Off-haul excess soils from site.

Backfill and re-compaction operations
• As job progresses and coordinating the installation of the new house retaining wall plus site plan driveway wall sequence with General Contractor, re-use approx. 450 cubic yards of native soil for backfilling and re-compaction behind the new retaining walls mentioned above to create the new auto court area. Includes cutting a maximum of 4 ft. wide x 12” stepped base footings into the native slopes as standard procedure prior to commence re-compaction operations. All excavated spoils generated from “stepped benching to be re-compacted as well.
• Off-haul excess soils from site. See notes below.

Notes:
1. An estimated approx. 1950 cubic yards of dirt will be extracted from the original existing grades to achieve the new slab sub-grades, excavation for the new house & car elevator foundation. At the same time a rough calculation for the re-compaction requirements is approx. 450 cubic yards of the native soil, an excess of approx. 1500 cubic yards of dirt to be off-hauled from site.
2. The excavation price provided includes the off-haul of 1500 cubic yards from site and includes excavation, loading, transportation and dump fees. No deducts

House S2.1, S2.2 & 2.3 & new carport S2.4 foundation + site walls S2.6 concrete work
