How much does a metre of concrete wall cost
A precast concrete wall installed in Greater Lisbon costs between 113 and 167 € per linear metre, excluding VAT, depending on the height — 113–135 €/m at 1.5 m and 144–167 €/m at 2.5 m. The price includes the material and the installation with foundation. The length of the wall barely changes the price per metre: a 20 m wall and a 100 m wall are less than two euros per metre apart from each other.
Calculate your wall
The calculation follows the method above. The installation figures are a range: the low end is flat ground with good access, the high end is difficult ground. It does not include delivery of the material to the site.
Please note: this figure is an estimate, not a quote.
The final amount is always confirmed by one of our managers, and only after we have seen the wall line, the access to the plot and the slope. The calculator is not binding on either party and the amount may go up or down.

This page shows the figures we work with, not a vague range. The material is invoiced at the manufacturer's list price and the installation separately, per linear metre of wall. The calculator above performs exactly the six steps of the methodology described further below — if you check it against the tables, the values match to the euro. All values are excluding VAT unless otherwise stated; VAT in mainland Portugal is 23 %.
These figures are an estimate, not a quote. They are there to give a reliable order of magnitude before you speak to anyone. The final price is always discussed and agreed with one of our managers: it depends on the line of the wall on the plot, on access for the vehicle, on the slope, on the finish chosen and on delivery to site. No figure on this page constitutes a commercial offer.
Price per linear metre, by height
That is the short answer. The height decides how many panel layers go in and which post is needed; installation is the same at any height.
| Height | Panel layers | Post | Material + installation, excluding VAT | Material + installation, including VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 m | 3 × 500 mm | 120×120×2200 mm | 113 – 135 €/m | 139 – 166 €/m |
| 1.8 m | 3 × 500 mm + 1 × 300 mm | 120×120×2800 mm | 124 – 145 €/m | 152 – 179 €/m |
| 2.0 m | 4 × 500 mm | 120×120×2800 mm | 126 – 147 €/m | 155 – 181 €/m |
| 2.5 m | 5 × 500 mm | 120×120×3300 mm | 144 – 167 €/m | 178 – 205 €/m |
Delivery is not included in these prices. Delivery of the material to the site is quoted separately, by municipality and volume.
Figures for the stock grey. Material plus installation with foundation, at the lower and upper end of the installation range.
And per square metre of wall?
It is the same sum divided by the height. Note what happens: the price per m² goes down as the wall goes higher, because installation is charged per metre of length and does not rise with the height. A tall wall costs more per metre and less per square metre.
| Height | Per linear metre | Per m² of wall | Per m², including VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 m | 113 – 135 €/m | 76 – 90 €/m² | 93 – 111 €/m² |
| 1.8 m | 124 – 145 €/m | 69 – 81 €/m² | 85 – 99 €/m² |
| 2.0 m | 126 – 147 €/m | 63 – 74 €/m² | 77 – 91 €/m² |
| 2.5 m | 144 – 167 €/m | 58 – 67 €/m² | 71 – 82 €/m² |

Calculation methodology
The calculation is open and can be redone by hand with a calculator. There are six steps, always the same, and every unit value is the manufacturer's list price or a fixed fee of ours.
| 1. Metres of wall | Given directly: the length measured on the plot, in linear metres. |
|---|---|
| 2. Panel area | Area = metres of wall × height, in m². A panel measures 2000 × 500 mm, that is, exactly one square metre, so the area of the wall is directly the panel area. We do not round up: on the last segment the panel is cut and the actual area is invoiced. |
| 3. Number of posts | Posts = metres of wall ÷ 2, rounded up, + 1. Each segment between posts measures 2 m; the first segment needs two posts and each subsequent segment adds one. A 20 m wall takes 11 posts, a 60 m wall takes 31. |
| 4. Material cost | Material = area × panel price per m² + number of posts × post price per unit. The panel is sold by the m², the post individually. At a height of 1.80 m there are two courses with different prices: 1.50 m of 500 mm panel plus 0.30 m of 300 mm panel. |
| 5. Installation cost | Installation = metres of wall × 59…79 € per linear metre. It is a separate figure, it is not included in the material, and does not rise with height — rises with the difficulty of the plot. Includes drilling the holes and the foundation of each post with the concrete it requires. |
| 6. Total | Total = material + installation. Add 23 % VAT and delivery of the material to the site, quoted by municipality. |
Delivery is not included in these prices. Delivery of the material to the site is quoted separately, by municipality and volume.
Area = metres of wall × height
Posts = round up (metres of wall ÷ 2) + 1
Material = area × panel price/m² + posts × post price/unit
Installation = metres of wall × 59…79 €/linear metre
Total = material + installation (+ 23 % VAT)

Wall quote per linear metre
A wall quote per linear metre is this: the metres of wall, the height, what is included in the material, what is included in the installation and what is left out. If a quote reaches you with a single figure, half of it is missing.
When you ask for a quote — from us or from another company — insist on these ten itemised lines. It is the quickest way to see whether two quotes are comparable.
| 1. Length | Linear metres of wall, and which boundaries are included. |
|---|---|
| 2. Height | Above ground level, and how many panel layers make it up. |
| 3. Panel thickness | In our system, 30 mm. |
| 4. Finish | Texture and colour, and whether it is in stock or made to order. |
| 5. Posts | How many, at what height and at what unit price. |
| 6. Foundation | Hole size, depth and whether it is included. |
| 7. Installation | Per linear metre, and what the rate covers. |
| 8. Transport | Delivery of the material to the site, priced separately. |
| 9. VAT | Rate applied and whether the figures are including or excluding VAT. |
| 10. Lead time | Days on site at a rate of 20–30 m/day, and the start date. |
Estimate, not a quote. The final figure is fixed with one of our managers after we have seen the site.
What is and what is not included
Included in the price above
- Panels and posts at the manufacturer's list price.
- Drilling of the holes and foundation for each post, with the concrete and materials the foundation requires.
- Wall installation by our own team.
- Alignment and clearing of the site at the end of the works.
Quoted separately
- Delivery of the material to site — on request, depends on the municipality and the quantity.
- VAT at 23 %.
- Preparation of the wall line — it is the client who does it, before the team arrives: pulling out roots, removing rubble and stones and demolishing an old fence that is in the way. It is not a service we provide.
- Gates, shutters and automation.
- Earth-retaining wall: this system is for fencing, it does not hold back ground.
What pushes the price up
| Difficult access | A plot with no access for a heavy vehicle means the panels have to be carried by hand. Each 500 mm panel weighs 57 kg. |
|---|---|
| Slope | On a sloping plot the wall is built in steps. Each step is one more post and one more panel cut. |
| Line to be prepared | Roots, rubble or an old fence have to be removed before the holes are opened, and that clearing is the client's responsibility. If the line is not clear on the scheduled day, the team wastes the trip. |
| White finish | The white panel costs 33 €/m² instead of 25, and the white post 39 € instead of 33. On a 2 m wall that works out at about a quarter more in material. |
| Texture out of stock | The four textures in stock are at the base price. The rest of the catalogue are produced to order and some have a higher list price. |
Delivery is not included in these prices. Delivery of the material to the site is quoted separately, by municipality and volume.
Questions about the price
Is the price per linear metre or per square metre?
Both, each in its own place. The panel is sold by the square metre, the post by the unit and the installation by the linear metre of wall. The final figure that matters to the client is per linear metre, and that is how we present the table.
Does a longer wall work out cheaper per metre?
Almost nothing. Between 20 and 100 metres the difference is less than two euros per metre, because the number of posts grows at the same rate as the length. Anyone who promises you a large discount for length is making it up somewhere else.
Why does the installation have a range of 59 to 79 €?
The work changes with access to the plot, with the condition of the wall line and with the slope. A clean alignment on flat ground with lorry access is at the low end; ground in steps with no access is at the high end.
Is the foundation included?
Yes. Drilling the holes, the concrete and the foundation materials for each post are included in the installation price. It is not a separate item.
And the delivery of the material?
It is the only item that always stays separate, because it depends on the municipality and the quantity. We state the amount in the quote.
Is the 1.80 m wall much cheaper than the 2.00 m one?
No. The difference is small because the 300 mm layer that closes off the 1.80 m costs 35 €/m², more expensive per square metre than the 500 mm one at 25 €/m². Those who want house height usually settle for 2.00 m.
Do these prices include VAT?
No. All the tables are excluding VAT. The rate in mainland Portugal is 23 %, and the "including VAT" column of the first table already includes it.
Would you like the exact figure for your plot?
With the length, the height and the municipality we prepare the quote with delivery included. If you have a photograph of the wall line, better still.
