How Much Does Pole Base Cost?
Pole Base precast light foundations are a top-quality, time-saving solution for site lighting projects of all sizes and scopes. Learn about the factors that help determine the cost of making Pole Base part of your next project.
How Pole Base Pricing is Determined
It’s important to note that Pole Base precast light foundations are crafted and sold by licensed manufacturers across the United States. These producers establish their pricing based on local production costs and market conditions, which often exceed their control. For example, aggregate – a necessary component of the concrete used to produce precast products like Pole Base – may cost notably more in one area of the country, which can impact retail pricing.
Pole Base pricing is also influenced by a handful of other factors, which we’ll discuss a bit more.
Size
The size of your Pole Base light pole foundations contributes to their price. Pole Base is typically produced in 24-in (609 mm) widths in lengths of 4, 6, 8, and 10 ft (1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0 m), but custom sizes may be available. Custom sizes can require more concrete to produce and the additional raw material costs will be reflected in the final price.
Specifications
One of the most impactful features of Pole Base is its ability to be built exactly to your specifications in a completely controlled production environment. You’ll receive a customized foundation featuring bolt patterns, conduit, and texture (when available) produced precisely to your project’s demands. More customization demands more labor which can impact the price of your Pole Base foundations.
Site Location
With a network of producers across the U.S., chances are good you’ve got a local manufacturer who can deliver your custom Pole Base light foundations directly to your site, ready to install. Just like ready-mix deliveries for cast-in-place bases, Pole Base freight costs are determined by proximity. The further the site is from the batch plant or Pole Base producer, the higher the delivery charges for both products.
