Retaining walls

[wallace]

I need some brick retaining walls built.

Can anyone recommend anyone in Brisbane?
What sort of m2 cost would I expect to pay?

Before you get a builder make sure you get a design.

I see a lot of brick retaining walls that have been 'designed' by a brickie that have failed due to:
Lack of proper foundation; or
Too Thin; or
Lack of proper reinforcement;........or a combination of all three.

That even includes walls that are only retaining 300mm of soil.

There can be considerable forces involved (see http://www.anewhouse.com.au/2012/05/understanding-retaining-walls/)

If the wall is more than 900mm high you will need a design for a council permit.
