For construction professionals, understanding the cost of precast concrete walls is crucial. The cost typically ranges from $32 to $48 per square foot, depending on various factors. In urban areas like the Bronx, costs can be $41–$45, while suburban projects may be closer to $35. Key cost drivers include panel thickness, finish quality, crane access, reinforcing steel, and freight distance.
• Panel thickness and structural load requirements
• Finish quality—architectural face, integral color, or exposed aggregate
• Crane access and set time on restricted residential streets
• Reinforcing steel density and connection hardware
• Freight distance from the precast plant to site
A recent project in Westchester County required a 1,200 square-foot precast basement wall system. The breakdown was as follows:
1. Panel fabrication: $19.80/SF
2. Transport & staging: $5.25/SF
3. Crane & rigging: $4.10/SF
4. Site prep & setting crew: $7.60/SF
Total delivered and installed: $36.75 per square foot
• Conventional block walls average $30–$35/SF but require longer schedules.
• Poured concrete foundations can be $28/SF, but delays often negate savings.
