What's the minimum equipment I need for a basic residential

[soumits]

Greetings! I'm planning my first pile installation project and I'm trying to figure out what tools I actually need to purchase or rent. I see mentions of manual pile drivers, automatic ones, and pipe levers. What's the minimum equipment I need for a basic residential project?

Greetings! For basic residential work, you've got options depending on your budget and soil conditions. Manual pile drivers work great for lightweight structures in normal soil - they're affordable and effective. If you're dealing with hard soil or installing many piles, automatic pile drivers are worth it despite higher cost. On a tight budget? Pipe levers can work as a basic solution, though they require more effort. You'll also need a quality level - non-negotiable for checking verticality. See https://we-build-correctly.blogspot.com ... round.html for equipment breakdowns. Minimum for most projects: screw piles, a reliable level, and either a manual driver or sturdy pipe levers. Start there and upgrade if needed based on your specific conditions.
