Block Wall Questions

[mondorally]

I'm looking to have a 78lf 6' block wall installed in Huntington Beach.
Questions:
What can I expect to pay per foot? I know it depends on the type of block - so any rough estimates would be appreciated.
How much more to install a few pilasters?
Any recommended names?
Thanks
Justin

We don't do CMU, but I think anywhere from $10 - $15 a square foot is ok. There are a lot of factors involved, but I think this is a fair perameter.
Footing size.
Block size?
Solid grout?
Bar detail?
Pilaster size?
Good luck

My neighbor is having a bunch of work done and is offering to split the cost on the property line wall with me..... the problem is the current quote is at $115lf, or $19.23 a square foot. I need to call the contractor to get the details. I hope the KY is included in that price.
One more thing - he was told that the additional cost of the pilasters was negated by not having to have as deep of a footing due to the additional strength of the pilasters. Legit or BS?
Thanks for the info

Wow, that sounds high. The last quote I got for 5' high, common block (stucco finish, no retaining needed) was $65.00 lf.

we paid $45 a foot on the wall we had built.
We had quotes up to $85, being patience and looking around we found a great price

..this is a good price range to be in...50' @ 6' high for $3200-3500 during the past summer

let me call and see if i can get yuh a number for a local guy.

nope. couldn't find any of the old companies around(it's been 15 years) but 65-100 bucks a linear foot sounds about right. going with less of a footing and less steel do to the use of pillasters sounds possibly illeagal. check local building codes if your going that route.
