Its a stone garden wall infront of our house. We understand from our Geometra that it needs to be reinforced to prevent the house from any movement.

You must have a fairly big wall Cilla. I was a bit shocked by the range of your quotes. If its any help a stone garden wall built around an iron sub frame (which I take is what is going to provide the reinforcing) to about 15 inches thick, costs at the top end €150 per m2 here. Thats including all labour costs etc. We've had lots of walls built here in the past and I should imagine that prices in Calabria should be lower. Good luck.

Hi, Our wall is 24 metres long and 3 1/2 metres high. We thought all 4 estimates were far too high!! But we have gone with our geometres cousin who we have met. We have agreed a price and have told our geometra that we cannot afford to pay 1 cent more.

Cilla10................ I think the estimates for your wall are outrageous................you(we all) have to remember that the Italians think 'we' are rich. I tend to take the line that...................before getting any quotes at all.................what do you think you would (want) to pay for a job? If the price is somweher around what you would want to pay then just go for it. In my experience here (limited ..............2/3years)....there seems to be a lot of 'cousins'. !! Good luck, enjoy etc etc! S

I actually think that the estimate at €7,500 now looks good. You have 84m2....€90 per m2. Good luck. Hope they do a good job for you.
