What to provide for a wall assessment

Give the municipality, approximate length and height, level difference and machinery access. Explain whether there is an existing wall, nearby buildings or visible water. Photographs help the initial discussion; they cannot be used to design a structure.

What affects the quotation

Ask for excavation, foundations, structure, drainage, backfill and soil removal to be itemised. Ground conditions, working space and the solution specified by the technician determine the scope. A price per metre without these conditions does not allow offers to be compared.

Before choosing a company

Share the same project documents and quantities with companies when available. Check experience with similar work, insurance, exclusions, timescales and who handles technical services and permits. If the wall shows movement or falling material, request an on-site assessment before arranging routine building work.

Questions before requesting a quotation

A concrete retaining wall, rock armour or gabions?

They are different solutions. The choice depends on the ground, loads, available space and design. Request a technical assessment; do not choose solely from a photograph or an advertised price.

Can I request a quotation without exact measurements?

Yes. Make clear that the measurements are approximate and explain what documents you have. The company must check measurements and scope before making a final offer.
