Is a brick wall cheaper than concrete?

• <div><p>Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from <b>$10 to $45</b> per square foot, plus <b>$70 to $110</b> per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost <b>$10 to $20</b> per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly. Ultimately, concrete is often the more affordable choice, especially for larger projects. </p></div>

How thick should the concrete be for an above-ground storm shelter?

• <div><p>Aim for a concrete thickness of at least 4 inches for the walls of your above-ground storm shelter and 3.0 to 3.5 cubic yards of concrete for the base of your storm shelter. If you’re concerned about the thickness of your concrete while building a storm shelter, get in touch with a professional storm shelter builder to make sure your work is up to code and safe. </p></div>

Will my freshly poured concrete wall crack?

Antonio and his crew are wonderful to work with. They redid our driveway retaining walls with a beautiful stacked natural fieldstone. Communication of the scope and budget was very clear and there were no surprises. The workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend Bolani Masonry.
