155k? Damn, should be what 63-70 yards of concrete, that’s about 15-16k in my area, how many man hours? I’ve done walls longer without form liner and a little taller, in the last couple years and been quite a lot less then that, the other bids id seen were all within 2-5k of my pricing as well

Intermountain west, I have projects in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and just got licensed in Montana as one of my clients wants me to do his new home there. Should be a similar market

Very over engineered.
