Need a retaining wall built in Perth SOR
Could anyone recommend a builder to install a retaining wall in my garden?, the old cementboard fence has finally fell over and I need to get it fixed.
Finding a biulder to even return my calls, let alone come out and see the job is proving a tad difficult.

Maybe, what sort of retaining wall are you wanting and how long is it. Take a picture and send to me and can give you a scary price

what a mark up !!
3 x sheets from Bunnings = $240
that's alot of labour (profit)
tools required = 1 shovel or is that a spade
try getting a handyman quote instead of a fencing contractors quote (they are flat-out with new block builds)
or I'll come around and do it for $2,799

I had friends who needed a retaining wall built,they were quoted between $15k and $50k :scared:
They changed their plans on what to do with their garden.

Thanks Folks,
I'll get the tape and camera out and be in touch Siren and Brian!.
In the spirit of crazy building prices I was quoted $650 to supply and fit a garden gate!!. Gate from Bunnings was $109, a length of 3" by 1" $14, and a drill $59!!!!. Took me about 45 mins to fit.
I wonder if builders belive in Karma???
