Mediatoweb channel’s calculation indicates a cost of R$ 27,580.00 for a 100 m² foundation, with labor, concrete, steel, wood, and waterproofing among the heaviest items even before the house begins to rise.
A calculation released by the Mediatoweb channel shows that the foundation for a 100 m² house can cost R$ 27,580.00, considering concrete, steel, wood, waterproofing, and labor. The survey details the main items used in this stage of the construction and helps to show how much the base of a building can weigh on the initial budget.
Labor leads the costs
The highest value presented is for labor, estimated at R$ 9,300.00. This cost involves the execution of the necessary services to prepare, assemble, and complete the foundation, a stage that requires care because it supports the entire structure of the house.
Concrete and steel exceed R$ 13 thousand
Among the materials, concrete appears with a cost of R$ 6,800.00. Steel was calculated at R$ 6,650.00. Together, these two items reach R$ 13,450.00, a value that represents one of the most important parts of the structure.

Wood and waterproofing complete the bill
Wood appears in the survey with a cost of R$ 4,150.00. It is usually used for forms and supports during the foundation’s execution. Waterproofing, in turn, was estimated at R$ 680.00 and serves as a protection stage against moisture.
Total is noteworthy
With all values combined, the 100 m² foundation reaches R$ 27,580.00. The calculation is noteworthy because this part of the construction is barely visible after the house is finished, but it concentrates significant expenses right at the beginning of the construction.
For those planning to build, the breakdown by category helps to understand where the biggest costs are. The budget also shows that, before the walls go up, the foundation already requires detailed financial planning.
