Default Reqd: Company to build a retaining wall.

Currently in the process of building a house and we are wanting quite a large retaining wall out the front in the same brickwork as the house (not limestone)

Can anyone recommend a company/bricklayer who does this and who can also submit required paperwork for council approval.

Thanks

Darren

Darren,

look at doing all the foundation work/under ground work in limestone, then the face / part of the wall you can see in brick, to reduce the cost. Otherwise, if its retaining a decent ammount of soil, it will be Uber expensive!!!

Unfort. I can't help you with someone to do it.. :P so i will get outta this thread now

You'll need engineering on making an underground pyramid for the wall if making it out of limestone blocks.

Alternatively there are other companies that have a wall attached to a big block. Still needs engineering for council approval.

Because of that, best bet is to go through the yellow pages (unless someone here does it) to find a company that can do it all.

Have spoken to a couple of brickies and they have also recommended i speak to a structual engineer first. Apparently what i need is a 100mm cavity filled wall.
