Approximate cost per foot for a masony wall
Posted on 8/5/13 at 2:15 pm

In the planning stages for a new house and the wife wants a brick or some type of masonry wall. Probably 6-8 feet in height.
Anyone have any experience recently with building or having a wall like this built? What would this type of wall cost per foot?
TIA

Just like a brick wall on the interior of the house? Right around $14-15/sf with labor and materials would be fair depending on the style of brick and/or pattern

Good question. I'm at the design stage and am just getting approx costs. Is their a specific width of wall that is necessary for an 8 foot high wall.

Ruzil,
You demo that house yet?
I totally forgot and never got back to you on it. I showed my Mrs Eng08 the photos of that stuff and she said "not only no, but F no."

Not necessarily. If you are talking about just a brick veneer (brick facing and not a structural brick wall) then you can figure about .50/brick to install them. Materials will kind of depend on what you select, but .60/brick will be close..

We built our house about 3 years ago and we had some brick columns installed on the inside. Our brick layer charged us $500 per 1000 bricks. None of the colums were load bearing so I do not know if that matters for the price. Not sure what it translates to price per square foot but if you get a quote from a brick layer more than likely they are going to give it price per 1000 bricks not in Sq foot.

That's about right. .50/brick is the going rate now. Pretty cheap if he charged you that for columns though. I would charge more due to them taking longer to build than brick on a wall...

Non load bearing double wythe (typical) with ladder reinforcing and either #3's doweled in the foundation at 16" centers, connectors on the side into the framing (assuming it is a wing wall), or both.
.50-.60 sounds reasonable.

I'm currently spending about $17/sf , includes labor and material, for brick veneer.

You need to work out your pimp hand.
