We have been asked several times about how much is a concrete masonry fence per unit meter. We hope this post will help non-technical people estimate their concrete fences. We tried to be as specific as we can so you will find this easy.
Check the latest and another house plan with breakdown for average construction cost for two story residential unit here!
Figure 1 shows the typical fence we are going to estimate. The typical fence below is the basic concrete fence built in the Philippines. You can use this concrete fence plan to build your house fence.
Figure 2 above shows the 3D model of the fence. Note that we have put the names per structural member so you would know the what we are referring to later on.
The typical concrete fence details in the Philippines are modeled below
- Footing Details:
Concrete: 0.60m L x 0.60m W x 0.25m H
Reinforcing bars: 4pcs – 0.60m, 12mm Diameter Deformed bars for both horizontal and longitudinal bars.
Total of 8pcs – 0.60m, 12mm Diameter Deformed Bars
- Column Details:
Concrete: 2.45m H x 0.20m W x 0.20m L
Reinforcing bars:
- Main Bars: 4pcs – 3.0m, 12mm Diameter Deformed bars
- Ties: 18 pcs – 0.80m, 10mm Diameter Deformed Bars
- Wall Footing
Concrete: 0.20 H x 0.4m W x 2.8m L
Reinforcing Bars:
- Longitudinal bars:3pcs – 2.8m, 12mm Diameter Deformed Bars
- Horizontal bars: 10pcs – 0.4m, 10mm Diameter Deformed Bars
- Vertical Dowels: 3pcs – 2.7m, 10mm Diameter Deformed Bars
- Masonry Wall
It’s hard to really explain how the numbers were computed. Anyhow, here is the summary of the materials for this masonry concrete fence plan. Note that only one set of column and footing were calculated in this example.

| coco lumber (may be used 3x) | 22.0 | linear meter |
| Common Nail | 0.5 | kg |
Again, only one set of column and footing were calculated.
The following are number of pieces per material used in the 3-meter fence above. No wastage factor were included. Normally, you would want to add 5%-10% of the materials above for the wastage factor.

Does this 3 meters fence materials means 1 column and 1 footing?
The post begins, “We have been asked several times about how much is a concrete masonry fence per unit meter”.
The mat’l list and summary for a 3 meter section is most helpful and a summary est. cost (PhP) would be equally helpful. I’ve looked for est. cost but don’t see it.
Thank you for pointing this out, Retremf. The idea is for the reader to multiply the quantities here with their canvassed local prices, something that may have been missing. We’ll improved this [By the way, note the Hollow Block used is 6″ and not 4″]. Thanks again 🙂
Hi PhilCon! Good Day! May we ask if you have updated prices for Ready-Mixed Concrete with strength of 2,500psi and 6,000psi? Would be glad to hear from you soon. Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,

Thanks for this post, helpful.
I had done something similar, but what I miss so far is an estimate of the working hours. Could you please make an estimate for the setup work and the actual masonry work?

Yes. Thinking of ways to enlighten people about laborer’s output Sir Leo. Thanks!
