How to do Retaining Wall Bids, Estimates and Proposals
What happens here
Measure the inside length and height of the garage wall that will serve as a template for the new retaining wall. This particular garage wall is approximately 22 feet long. The estimated average height of the retaining wall to be built outside is 4.5 feet, plus 1 foot for embedment, totaling 5.5 feet. This calculation yields 121 square feet (22 feet x 5.5 feet). The total estimated square footage for the entire retaining wall project (main wall + returns + garage template) is 298 square feet (137.5 + 40 + 121). This is the quantity that will be used in the proposal for the new retaining wall installation.
Goal: Calculate the square footage for the retaining wall section adjacent to the garage.
