Factors Affecting Price
Wall height is the primary cost factor — taller walls require more complex engineering. Wall length affects drawing complexity. Site complexity including slopes, reactive soils, or multiple tiers increases engineering time. Load conditions from driveways, pools, or structures above the wall require additional analysis.
