Title: Anyone know how much it would cost to have a block wall built?

1.8m high by about 8 metres long. Rough price?

As far as I remember it's three courses of blocks per day, to allow the mortar to set. The boys will be in for a couple of days in a row.

Brian:

Got this from my builder friend:

Will,

It depends on whether it's 9" cavity block or 4" solid block.

Also is there a foundation required? & what is access like

It's 1.8m high off foundation

No foundation Cavity Block easy access, approx. €800.00

No foundation 4" Solid block with piers, approx. €750.00

Foundation, dig and pour €350.00, remove spoil easy access €150.00

Hope this helps
