    Hi folks,

    I have been quoted the following by a builder who is doing a few jobs locally in Dublin 7.

    Build 11m long x 3 course high garden boundary wall (100mm solids) : €385
    Supply and lay saddle back cappings : €96
    Render both sides of wall : €340

    Total ex VAT = €821

    A suitable foundation (checked by builder) is already in place.

    I am completely out of touch with building costs and google hasn't been much help.

    Can any trades here confirm if this is a reasonable quote ?

    Thank you.
    F.

    That a 100mm block wall?

    Sorry, I left half the info out of the OP.

    Yes, it's 100mm solids.

    Thanks.

    The €385 for the construction of the wall is saucy anyway.

    Just on the information you've given it sounds a high for the wall construction and the plastering. The Caps seem cheap enough.

    Saying that if he has to build in some piers for say a gateway it would balance it back.
