I looked around and found that guys with hoes in my area all take
about $5K USD for installation of a 1000 gallon septic tank w. leech
field and this does NOT include the percolation report. The tank
itself costs about a grand $1K, so let's deduct that. The job takes
about 1-2 days. Let's say 2 days = 16 hours. $4K comes out to $250/
hour. That does not sound right. I am sure competitors would bring
the price down. In that case my question is what other costs are
involved? Someone told me transporting the material on-site and
gravel costs need to be considered. Can somebody break down where
does the $5 actually get distributed for a typical installation of a
septic tank with a leech field?




Well I don't know since these things are free for businesses...

Here's a bakers dozen I came up with right off and stopped. Let's see how
many people can add a dozen more things that are free to businesses.

Workers payroll

Vehicles

Vehicle fuel
Lawers fees for when they get sued
