Do any of you know a place that's not expensive? We are north of the river (Alexander Heights). We will also have to put fencing back on top so if they have fencing companies that they work with that's a bonus. Thank you!

Re: Urgent - Perth Retaining Wall 3Mar 25, 2009 3:28 pm I don't have the exact numbers with me here at work, but from memory one side is about 300-400mm and the other is about 500mm. There's about 80m in total on a left and right hand side of a block. The builders have full engineering drawings of the exact requirements that they are happy to pass onto whoever we choose to do it, I just need someone to build it... I would prefer to use a recommendation if anyone has any. Re: Urgent - Perth Retaining Wall 4Mar 25, 2009 7:53 pm I just noticed you are online...

My builder actually suggested that we get someone else to get the walls done. They would be happy to just build on a flat sandy plot. I think it involves a lot more co-ordination, which is why they are happy to let someone else do the job. If you had someone else build the retaining walls, can you pm me the contact? Re: Urgent - Perth Retaining Wall 6May 16, 2009 10:50 am We decided to get the builder to do it in the end - we could add it to the home loan as it was still going to be a lot of money, and we changed it so they did minimal retaining required around the house, and we'll do retaining later to make a multi-levelled backyard. unfortunately for us, it had to be done before the slab. Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 5096 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16171 Thanks for the insights, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, I will be leaning on the experience of the excavator operator entirely. 6 16041 |
