Budget estimate. A wall over about 1.8 m high, on poor soil or retaining earth needs an engineer to size the foundation and pillars.

Working
  1. Pillars = ⌈length ÷ spacing⌉ + 1 = 15; each runs from the base to the top of the wall (2.55 m)
  2. Masonry = (length − pillars × pillar size) × height from base × thickness = 20.82 m³
  3. Units = masonry ÷ unit volume with 10 mm joints = 8,506
  4. Concrete = base (length × trench width × base) + pillars (n × size² × height) = 7.04 m³
  5. Excavation: 21.60 m³ × 10.00 = 216
  6. Concrete: 7.04 m³ × 220.00 = 1,549
  7. Masonry: 20.82 m³ × 120.00 = 2,498
  8. Plaster: 144.00 m² × 6.00 = 864
  9. Total = 5,128 + gate 1,500 = 6,628
