Need a retaining wall???
This is aimed specifically at the Waikato residents, and maybe those slightly further afield but not too far.
Having recently the need to erect a retaining wall we were very shocked at the price we were quoted...10k. Now that included a labour cost of 7k for no more than 4 days work. In this price he hadn't even quoted for the cut and removal of material. Needless to say we thought time to rip the Poms off, however that wasn't the case as a work colleague of mine also had a quote and that came in higher than we expected, so the deal was do it ourselves and this we did. These pic's show how the job ended up. Not bad if a do say so myself.
Now for those requiring a retaining wall within the said locations please bear us in mind if you feel that the price you have been quoted is a tad high. We will be willing to come along and quote cheaper in labour costs. Unfortunately we aren't able at this present time to bring trade costs on the materials, but we will definately undercut the labour costs. In all, our time on the job was around 20hrs, which would equate to roughly 2 weekends on the job. Please bear in mind we do have fulltime jobs to attend.
So the offer is there to be taken up, even if you just want a quote.
