Core Drill Cost Calculator
Estimate core drilling cost from hole depth, number of holes, a base rate and a callout fee.
Estimate only — not a substitute for a licensed tradesperson, a certified engineer, or sign-off from your local building surveyor. Verify against current standards and site conditions before ordering materials or starting work.
Result
- Cost per hole
- $110.00$
- Total holes cost
- $440.00$
- Estimated total cost (incl. callout)
- $560.00$
Indicative cost estimate only, from the rates you enter - actual core-drilling quotes vary with core diameter, reinforcement, access and location. This calculator does not check hole placement against structural reinforcement, post-tension cables or services. Always confirm hole positions against the structural drawings or a GPR scan before core drilling a suspended slab or load-bearing wall.
What this is based on
Pricing arithmetic only, from rates you supply. No code governs cost. Whether a hole CAN be drilled in a given location is a structural/services question (reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits) - this calculator does not check that. Always confirm hole positions against the structural drawings or a GPR scan before core drilling a suspended slab or load-bearing wall.
