Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction cost for filling post holes around 4x4 deck or porch posts, using site-mixed concrete.


Unit Size

One post.


Labor Costs

We figure 1/2 hour of unskilled labor per post. That is about what it takes for mixing concrete from bag mix or raw materials, shoveling and tamping.

You can probably reduce the hours by 50% if you have a large number of post holes to fill, and use a ready mix truck. Drop the labor hours even more if you use a concrete pump truck (for larger projects, or if you are also pumping and pouring other concrete on the site).


Material Costs

We figure a bit of concrete (40 posts per cubic yard).

METRIC VERSION-- 45 posts per cubic meter of concrete.


Hard Construction Costs, Typical

$11.78 US per post hole


Suggested Quantity

No suggested amount. Enter the number of porch or deck posts that will be embedded in concrete.


Source of Construction Pricing

Crew timing from a large number of porch and deck projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
