Soil Investigation Cost Calculator

Estimate soil investigation budgets based on project scope and configurable cost assumptions.

The SI Cost Estimator turns an investigation scope into an 11-item Bill of Quantities priced across Low/Mid/High budget bands, with Quick and Detailed modes, a USD/AED currency toggle and mobilisation/demobilisation allowances.

Scope figures can be carried in automatically from the SI Scope Calculator. Figures are preliminary, exclude VAT and are for budgeting only — not for procurement, tender or construction. Onshore investigations only.

Disclaimer

This tool provides preliminary budget estimates for planning and feasibility purposes only. The estimated costs are indicative and must not be used for procurement, tendering, contractual commitments, or project execution. Actual costs will vary depending on project-specific requirements, ground conditions, site access, investigation scope, laboratory and field testing requirements, market rates, and other project constraints. Final budgets should be established using formal quotations obtained from qualified ground investigation contractors and service providers.
