Cost: load-bearing masonry
A square-metre rate needs thickness, construction, openings and associated work. Compare complete walls with supports and junctions. Foundations, strengthening, insulation, water protection and finishes are not automatically included.
Editorial update on 19 September 2026
Read quantities
Request length, height, thickness and opening-deduction rules. Distinguish new work, repairs and removal. Compare matching drawings and specifications.
Detail associated work
Specify supports, foundations, lintels, connections, strengthening, openings and protection. Add access, handling and scaffolding if excluded. Assign waterproofing, insulation and finishes.
Manage discoveries
For existing work, define investigations and pricing after exposure. Request taxes, waste, checks and handover documents. Do not equate partial repair and full replacement under one area unit.

Frequently asked questions
Is an internal cross-wall just a partition?
Do not assume it is non-load-bearing. Establish its structural role before alteration.
Does concrete eliminate waterproofing needs?
Define requirements for exposure and use. Material alone does not confirm water protection.
Can blocks be changed during work?
Review the alternative and consequences before installation.
Can a screed replace structural masonry?
No. Describe load-bearing work separately from floor-preparation layers.
