farang000999 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) this is a bit of a silly question but i was thinking that if we were to buy a home in Thailand that I would like to build a big castle-esque wall around the property about 8 feet tall made of cinder blocks and cement. obviously there will be some variables like location but could someone give me a general idea of the cost? thanks. how much for 10 meters of an 8 foot concrete wall?

fredlk Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Most probably somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Most probably somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 Baht. Or 50, 60. 70, 80 or even 100,000 ....Standard wall 2 meters high will cost approx 8,000 a meter..as you want 8 feet will be slightly more.

StevenHeidbriderSr Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I paid $4700.00 USD for a 270 meter long and 2 meter high concrete and block fence. This incuded an ornate 2 car wide gate. Comes out to about 17.50 USD per meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpuumike Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I found the posts are the expensive part, can't remember the cost offhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that is a typo and should read 800 a meter, as a standard block and pillar wall 2 m high is built in 3.5m "locks" and each "lock" is around 2500 plain rendered to around -2800 for colourmix render.

JoePai Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The problem with asking for prices is that not all walls are equal. I am not talking about the best which is what Naam described but the standard concrete block walls. Prices can vary depending on the type of foundation, thickness (and amount) of steel, quality of blocks etc. Therefore to give a price of 8,000 Baht or 525 Baht (both way out) is misleading 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) You're going to have to take into account the extra blocks for the crenelations. Of course, if loop-holes are desired, then this will save on the blocks. Let's not get into the exorbitant price for a proper glacis.

Picture stored for future use. it's the standard "prescribed" wall dividing plots in our village. i had to pay for one side (side walls existed already) because i insisted to use a builder of my choice.

trogers Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sounds like you are living in a pretty bad neighborhood. Need a moat and a bridge with that wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
