Pricing
The Service Estimator at the top of this page can be used to obtain an estimate of the cost of our services and to help you decide which service option is best for you.
Included in the price for this service is an allowance for one basic change order (for example – looking at a horizontally-trenched slinky GHEX design when the original design was a vertically-bored GHEX)
For additional change-orders or for extensive change orders, we will charge $150/hour (including phone time).
