Ballpark estimate for a 7 foot tall brick wall
Posted on 10/5/20 at 2:40 pm

Let’s say 100 foot long. What am I looking at? $10,000? $20,000?

honestly more like 30-40

I guess type and quality of brick would be big factor or is there not much variation there and I’m mainly just paying for the labor?

footings, materials, and labor
brick isn't cheap. unless you're buying that cheap arse brick they clad an old mcdonalds in.

100ft long? seems a concrete wall might be cheaper material and labor wise.

Not sure I’m $40,000 for it rich.
I want it for aesthetics but also flood mitigation on one side of my house.
Just getting an idea on what we’ll have to save

about 5,200 bricks... assuming you are going with a standard size. .60 a brick, another grand or so for mortar and masonry sand, and the labor will be the kicker. anywhere from 4-7k.

That’s more my style. Is there a calculator or something where you got the number for the bricks?

any contractor is going to charge you 100% markup on material most likely. At best 60%. Their labor will be 2x or 2/3x more than the material cost. If you can get a brick wall 7' tall and 100' long for under 15k please let me know. I will keep that mason busy for the rest of his life
You're not going to be able to just buy the materials and let someone else build it. You could technically, but you get what you pay for

You could save some money by doing a block wall and then having it whitewashed or stuccoed so it doesn't look like a block wall. But you won't save a ton. The savings in materials gets eaten up with the finish.
But if it isn't visible, like the back of a property or something and you don't make it pretty, a block wall can be economical.

$30k at least. You could do a brick base and a wood fence on top. Maybe some columns in between. Walls are usually calculated by face square feet. Keep in mind the wall will go down below grade to the footing depth so a 7’ ht wall is really taller than that.

3 x 1.5 x 100' footing = 16 cy x $250/cy -dig, reinforce pour
7 x 100 x 1.125 cmu block 6" = 800 ea x 8/per - mat, cash labor, mortar, cell fill
7 x 100 x 7 face brick = 5/M +/- 250 to 650/M material + mortar. cash labor 5/M x 650/per M.
7 x 100 = 700/sf paint the back-side, $2/sf material+ cash labor
Add $1500, dumpster, clean up, misc material.
That will get you close.

Guy wins one big case, or so they say, and already has the money burning a hole in his pocket.

Give me a zip code and I will run it through my estimating software later tonight. I assume you need a footing to be poured also? This is a free standing wall? I probably needs to be double brick and have columns spaced out every 8’ for stability

70508. Thanks. Yes, free standing running 100 foot down a property line with probably 50 foot connected to a slab and other 50 foot abutting grass

build a cinder block wall, then clad over it with whatever brick or stone facade you like. that will cost you about half of what it costs doing it all in real stone

For what it’s worth mine averages 5’+
and hurricane Laura blew a portion down and trees broke some more of it. Insurance estimate was $15,000’ for about 50’ or so. And most of the bricks will be reused and footing is already there.
