Retaining Wall Estimator Built for Sleeper Wall Contractors
1-Quote's retaining wall calculator is a dedicated estimator, not a generic linear-metre guess. It's built around the variables that actually change a retaining wall quote: wall length and height, sleeper type, corners, gates, bored piers and an access-difficulty surcharge, all priced from your own rate card.

Frequently asked questions
Does the estimator account for corners and gates, or just wall length?
Both. Corners and gates are costed as part of the retaining wall calculator, alongside wall length, height, sleeper type and bored piers.
Can I charge more for difficult access sites?
Yes. There's a built-in access-difficulty surcharge you can apply within the retaining wall calculator.
Are bored piers included in the price, or do I need to add them separately?
Bored pier requirements are included as part of the retaining wall calculator's inputs, so they're priced within the same section.
Can I quote different sleeper types at different prices?
Yes. Sleeper type is selectable and priced from your own rate card, so different materials can carry different rates.
