Since 1996 once again we here at Carolina Precision Core Drilling a.k.a. (Precision Core Drill of Charlotte) are the first in our field to bring concrete core drilling pricing byway of the newest technology available to mankind. Our new Smart Instant chat Estimator is world renown to be the first ever in development for use as an estimating tool in the core drilling industry.

We have core drilling service for your area. If you are near North Carolina such as the towns of Charlotte, Raleigh, Apex, Huntersville, Asheboro, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Statesville. Perhaps you need core drilling in South Carolina and are near the upper border in towns such as Florence, Lancaster, Darlington, Hartsville, or Dillon then we got ya. Maybe it is in Virginia that you need core drilling in a town like Danville, South Hill, Petersburg, Richmond or Clarksville, then we may be your core drillers.

Key Cost Factors

Concrete core drilling costs are calculated based on several primary job parameters:

Surface Orientation (Wall vs. Floor): Horizontal drilling into structural walls requires specialized equipment, setups, and water control, making it generally more expensive than vertical floor slab drilling.
Hole Diameter (Bit Size): Larger bit sizes require heavier machinery, higher power, and cause more wear on diamond core bits, driving up costs as the diameter increases.
Drilling Depth: Thicker concrete structures increase the time, friction, and diamond bit wear per hole, increasing cost per inch of depth.
Material & Reinforcement: Standard poured concrete is easier to drill than heavily reinforced concrete with thick steel rebar, high-PSI concrete, or stone aggregates.
Accessibility & Work Conditions: Overhead hammer drillings to locate penetractions on a floor above, confined spaces, restricted access requiring hand-carried equipment, or strict dust/water containment setup requirements add operational surcharges.

Floor Slabs (Vertical)

Standardized shallow to deep concrete penetrations spanning 1" up to 16" bit specifications.
