What to write when a pier installation price goes quiet

If $13,600 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

Why the number is the number

The price is the piers at that corner. It does not fix water that is still soaking the footing. The bid includes six push piers on the settling corner, and a letter with the elevations we took.

What you can take out

The line you can remove is drainage correction, which may be why the corner moved. Do not promise the crack will close. Foundation bids sit because people want an engineer, a second company, and time to believe the crack is not just paint.

What is in the pier installation price

Hi Colleen,

If $13,600 for the pier installation looks high, here is what it covers: six push piers on the settling corner, and a letter with the elevations we took.

I can take out drainage correction, which may be why the corner moved and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same.

Thanks,
