ok.
Are you talking rock ledge like a cliff, like you are trying to remove solid rock in a grading operation, or are you talking removing a rock ledge on a house foundation b/c you have switched siding materials from rock/stone/brick to hardiplank or other?
I assume you are talking solid rock and a grading operation. If it is solid rock and saprolite (i.e. weathered rock) you are going to have to have it blasted. There are so many variables with blasting it is not possible to really give you a price over the net. It depends on site access, if it has to be hand drilled or track drilled, depth, type of rock, closeness of other structures and monitoring requirements, etc. You need to get a local blasting contractor to look at it.
I would suggest when you get estimates that you have the engineers break out their estimates by line item -- eg, A$ for wetlands, B$ for boundary survey & topo, C$ for sketch plan, D$ to take through approval process, E$ for phase 1, etc. The cost is going to depend on the site and the market area and the engineering firm. For instance, here a phase 1 might run around $2K, a sketch plan about $500, but it could be very different in your area.
I am an estimator for a GC in Las Vegas doing a fair amount of land development. For sites fully developed, including A/C paving, wet and dry utilities construction costs should run from 2.25 /sf to 3.50/sf. That does not include permits and utility connection fees. Therefore if you have 30 acres of land construction will run around 4.0 mill.
are you talking about rock ledges? brick ledge?
???
Not a clue what you are asking...????
rock ledge
Thanks

Hi Nancy,
Thanks, that helps considerably. What do you typically pay a civil engineer or your team of engineers to do a due dilligence?
