Seismic retrofits and foundation repair in Temple City
How Aspenwell Construction prices Temple City retrofits: counted items from the crawlspace survey, plus unit prices that apply only to hidden damage found.
Our written quote for a Temple City retrofit has two kinds of lines. Counted lines cover what the crawlspace survey could see and measure, such as each anchor bolt, each sheet of plywood and each hold-down. Unit-price lines cover what nobody can see until the work opens, like a rotted length of sill or a cracked post base, and they are charged only if that condition turns up.
What changes the counted lines
The length of the perimeter sets how many bolts and plates go in. Taller cripple walls take more plywood per foot and heavier hold-downs at each end. A crawlspace with little headroom, or one crowded with ducts, pipes and wiring, means slower work under the floor. A slab house shifts the scope toward the garage and its tie to the concrete. If the plan removes a bearing wall, the engineered beam, its posts and their footings become a separate group of lines, because they follow the drawings and not the survey.
Hidden conditions and the permit
When an opened wall shows damage the survey could not reach, we photograph it, mark it on the sketch and confirm the unit price with you before the repair goes in. Engineering and the permit fee sit apart from the labor, since the design and the city set them. Temple City is a suburban community in the San Gabriel Valley. Its plans go to the building department that serves the city. Arcadia, San Gabriel, San Marino, El Monte, Sierra Madre and Alhambra lie nearby, and the quote follows the same form in each.
