all my buildings have 4 walls.

Yeah. But then I would just have to tear one of those walls down to be able to drive my loaders in there, now wouldn't I????

How well does cinder block hold up when tapped by a loader?

Maybe the blocks are filled with concrete.

Try this Estimating Website or call three Mason's and have them give you an estimate.

Do you plan connecting the wall to the frame for bracing? If not, you'll need more resteel and pilasters at about 20' spacings.

That was my first thought when he said "wall."

"Building" is threw me off.

True dat

I'll try to help. Not sure about exact pricing relative to your location but this is what it would cost me here as a contractor in southern Louisiana.

Assuming reinforced 8x8x16 lightweight block with Type S mortar.

For industrial use, I would reinforce as follows; bond columns at 32" with #4 rebar, bond beams at every 5 courses with two #4 rebar, horizontal durawall reinforcement at every other course.

You are looking at roughly 1,600 block, 70 bags of mortar, 13 yards of 3500 psi ready-mix block fill, 8 yards masonry sand, 100 pcs rebar, 1,300 lnft of 8" durawall.l, $400 for rebar imbed epoxy, fastening, tie wire, etc.

Materials = $7,000
Labor/Equipment to drill & set rebar in slab,lay block, reinforce block, grout block = $10,000 (includes grout pump rental)

Total Cost $17,000 if you are furnishing materials. Add $1,000 if contractor is furnishing materials.

Thanks. That's a very helpful breakdown
