Building a Basement for a New Home
Basement installation for new construction costs $26,500 to $52,000 on average. Excavating at least eight feet deep then grading the land will be the most significant expense followed by materials, drainage systems, sealing, and waterproofing.
-
Standard Full Basement
A typical walkout basement costs $48,000 to $100,500. A walkout basement costs about $20,000 more than a regular full basement and requires extra excavation and grading.
-
Cost To Dig A Basement
The cost to dig a basement for new construction is $12,000 to $36,000. Basement excavation costs $10 to $20 per square foot and takes 2 to 4 weeks to dig-out and build. Digging a basement under an existing house averages $47 per square foot because the house must be raised first.
-
Cost To Pour A Basement
The concrete and labor cost to pour a basement depends mostly on how deep the excavation work needs to be and the condition of the soil. Homeowners report spending $14,811 to $44,478 or an average of $18.52 per square foot to pour their basement foundation and walls.

Garage Foundation Cost
A 24’ x 24’ (2-car) garage foundation costs $3,259 to $4,987, while a 16’ x 24’ (1-car) slab costs $2,239 to $3,391 installed. Prices range from $7.31 to $10.31 per square foot for a 4” reinforced concrete slab, and $8.83 to $12.32 per square foot for a 6” slab installed.
Concrete Price Per Yard
The concrete price per yard typically falls around $145, though it can vary between $120 to $180 per cubic yard. When tackling significant concrete projects, it’s essential to calculate the needed concrete by the cubic yard.
Concrete Footing Cost
Concrete footings cost $8.53 per square foot or $164 per cubic yard. Footings add $5,324 to $15,872 to the cost of the foundation, with prices growing as the footings go deeper and wider. The

Types Of Concrete Slabs
-
Modern Concrete
This is your typical concrete mixed and used every day.
-
High-Strength Concrete
This has a strength over 6,000 psi (pounds square inch)
-
Stamped Concrete
Concrete can be “stamped” with a decorative mold to make it look like stone, brick, and more. Stamped concrete usually needs a sealer to keep its decorative component.
-
Self-Consolidating Concrete
It eliminates the need for vibrations (the cement mixer) and is mainly used in restricted and hard-to-reach areas.
-
Glass Concrete
Using recycled glass as the aggregate creates a visually appealing concrete.
-
Asphalt Concrete
It is a very fast-hardening concrete that is used mainly in building roads and airports.

Concrete Driveway Cost per Yard
Most concrete is sold and poured by the cubic yard, at $145 to $160 a yard. This is also true of driveways. Although many people are more comfortable speaking in square feet than cubic yards, it helps to know the total costs. Like costs by square foot, there are variations based on the driveway’s type, finish, and thickness.
For example, a basic concrete driveway may cost less per yard than one with decorative stamping or staining. Thicker slabs, often used for heavy vehicles or longer driveways, also require more material and labor, increasing the overall cost.
Site conditions, such as soil type or slope, can further affect the price.

Extra work like excavation or adding a gravel base may be needed, which adds to both time and expense.

Above-Ground Concrete Pool Cost
If you want an above-ground concrete pool, you can expect to pay between $19,000 and $35,000 for materials and installation of a prefab model and $33,000 to $85,000 for a custom model. Although the price may be a big determining factor for most, above-ground options have their limitations. If you proceed with getting an above-ground model, make sure that you have a level backyard and that you know your municipality or homeowner’s association’s size restrictions for a backyard pool. These models also do not require digging. They start with building the walls and continue with the usual gunite building process from there. However, they need retaining walls to support the weight of the water and prevent the material from cracking.

Driveway Installation Cost
The total cost of driveway installation depends on the size of the driveway, site conditions and the material used. Labor can make up about half of the total price per square foot while the price for new material can make up the other half. Thickness can affect material cost, especially for concrete and asphalt. Special materials, like heated driveways, are more labor-intensive and thus, more costly to complete.
Any special design choices like stamped patterns, colored stains or unique finishes can tack on at least a few more dollars per square foot. Homeowners may need their contractors to excavate plants or trees from the site, which will cost extra.
How Much Does Concrete Cost Per Square Foot Installed?
The cost of concrete per square foot installed typically falls within a range of $6 to $10, making for an average of $8 per square foot. Taking the median price into account, it hovers around $6 per square foot. Consequently, for a project covering a 1,000-square-foot area, you can anticipate total costs ranging from $6,000 to $10,000, with the midpoint estimate coming in at approximately $8,300. These figures serve as a valuable reference for budgeting when planning concrete installation projects, reflecting the variations in pricing that may be encountered depending on factors such as location, quality of materials, and labor costs.
