SOLID FOUNDATIONS INC. - Your Complete Poured Foundation Contractor
Pricing / estimating process
To help our customers decide whether the pricing and terms of our products and
services are within their range of satisfaction, we request certain minimum
information before quoting even a "rough price". Due to the high volume of requests
for pricing information, and the fact that many requests for pricing are in the very early
stages of planning, we also require
at least a rough drawing or sketch of the
foundation plan
, with all critical outside measurements of basement, crawl, garage,
porches, etc.,  and as many other details that may affect the price as possible (see
list below), to provide a
reasonably accurate foundation quote.

You may:
1) e-mail a drawing in a "pdf" file format, or a CAD drawing file such as
"dwg", "dxf", or "dwf" to
oscard@sfoundations.com, 2) fax the drawing to Solid
Foundations Inc. at (419) 483-8814, or
3) you can drop off the prints at our office.
