Is the slab in the basement below grade and on same not freezing system and below the water table? Was the house there first and this was all added after? And lastly, are there alternatives to that ugly middle drain? Like the ugly middle drain in a shower is now a rail wall drain?
Roughly $75k. Keep in mind a project like this is about materials and skilled labor you can have in residential construction. Normal egress walkouts are $20k+. Most patios the same. This is all that plus some
@@Tuckgcinc Im not anywhere near your area but if I was i wouldn't hesitate to give you my business. Rare is a man that isn't afraid to say the general price. My first time working with a contractor to get an egress window in I thought he was trying to rip me off until I researched the price of material for the job. You guys really aren't charging enough if anything for this type of work.
@@Luckingsworth Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. I honestly took on this job because nobody else would. The client looked for over a year. I have jobs I can pull a 30% profit in one day and this one took over a month and I didn't pull that. This job wasn't about the money for me. I knew it would be one of the coolest jobs I will ever do and rarely do these come along. so I took it on for the budget that they had. I was confident enough that I could bring it in and make some money and that's what happened. I feel it turned out absolutely amazing and the heated floor is just the icing on the cake. There's a video before this on my channel that shows the ice melt system with snow on the ground. It's pretty cool. I put that $75k price up there but it was pushing close to 100k with the ice melt system and everything.
Where are you redirecting the runoff from those drain boxes? Into the yard?
They run a few hundred feet away at a constant slope to the woods. It took me a whole day to dig them with the mini excavator

I know costs vary quite a bit in different areas, but to give me an idea what was the approximate cost on this project?
Sorry, minus the electrical. Looking at the foundation, stone work, drainage and doorway.
