Here's my numbers for just the dig.

Hire a IQ 13 Town Wizard and three apprentices for $500/week (danger pay, because they're going underground) and dig 25 ST x 4 / 10 = 10 hexes a day, 50 hexes/week with Open Tunnel. Cost per hex is $10

Or hire a dwarf miner at 100$/week to dig 4 hexes/day, 20 hexes a week for $5 per per hex.

This doesn't include the architect who ensures that the construction is sound and won't instantly collapse.

What other costs should be included? Shoring timbers?
