Hello All!
This is my very first post in the forum.
I am exploring some land blocks in Spring Mountain (Ipswich QLD) but most of those have retaining wall (proposed concrete sleeper) mentioned in the disclosure plans.
I have attached photo of one of the blocks.
What would be approx. cost to consider building a concrete sleeper retaining wall (2m high, 30m length)?
Another thing that bothers me is the step-up (1m approx.) at the rear. I am hoping that would require some sloping garden design. Any advise, please?
Appreciate your help in advance.
Cheers!
Pre covid approx $120-$130 per face meter (1m x 1m)
Current covid impacted insanity builder go broke prices (yes venting) you could expect $180-$220/ face meter.
The developer has left the rising batter at the rear so they didn't have to retain it. They solved most of your problem and left you a nice little project.
If you're going to retain it, probably as you're only 29.5m deep, get the cut/export included by your builder, retake possession after earthworks do the retaining (quickly) then hand the site back to the builder to continue. You are 12.5m wide so once you build side access is a 900mm-100mm pathway.
