Garden Wall Brick Work 18 ft x 12 Foot Euro 3450 :eek:

HI there

Just wondering if this quote is a bit steep. Im looking to put in a small garden red brick wall (L Shaped as there are existing walls covering other sides)

5 Piers Granite Capped (5 foot High) Granite cappings are expensive I know about 100 Euro Each, The Piers at 5 foot are quite high of course thats grande so some extra foundation work here for the weight.

Connecting the piers (the main wall piece) I wanted a very small wall at 1.5 foot high only (ill be putting in a metal decorative railing in the void at a later stage which will bring the overall wall to the same height as the pillars. Ie 5 foot.

Overall your looking at approx 20 foot lenght and 12 foot wide. With the majority of the wall being a mere 1.5 foot high.

His quote broke down as

Materials Euro 1400 (seems fair enough)
1.5 pallets of red bricks
1 ton Sand cement
5 x granite pillar cappings

Skip Euro 100 (of course no probs here)

Labour 1950.00 ( Foundation digging cement pour and wall building)

Grand total 3450.00

I would have thought a decent brickie could have dug out the foundation for this in about 1 day. No concrete to be broke just soil (i would assume foundation wise you are looking at about 1.5 foot deep?
Actual wall build I would have thought 4/5 days tops. The Piers would be the most time consuming. I mean the connecting wall would be 1.5 foot tall only. Granted they are small red bricks which would take longer than cavity wall bricks.
Any thoughts? I was thinking it was a bit stiff. Sample pic attached . The connecting wall in sample pic is WAY higher that what i wanted just to note.
