Brick Pillar Fence Construction

[jai]

Hi all,
New here and my first post.
I am in the process of designing a fence for my new property.
So far i have come up with the following drawings.
I would like constructive criticism and tips.
Also if anyone is able, estimate the cost of this job from start to finish.
The drawings show brick work but render will be applied to the pillars.
Thanks for helping me out

G'day Jai,
I'll tell you all I know about brick fences, it won't take long.
You MUST have decent footings! A friend of mine lives in an area where
such fences were all the rage and his is about the only one where the columns are still vertical.

His secret? Deep footings - much larger (deeper) than his neighbours.

There, it didn't take long, did it?

Your best having an engineer supply a footing section detail prior to construction pertaining to your particular area.

My guess for the piers will be 600x600x250 for the pier footings, some N25 concrete etc.

Chuck some trench mesh in just in case you bust a Retic sprinkler and end up with soil subsidisation (compaction loss) and the wall wants to sink somewhere resulting in a crack.

If you have type S soils or similar with clay content then you'll need upgraded footings.

Place some Y12 REO in the footing up the centre of the piers and core fill with concrete.

They are 470 piers?

No go no where.

I have a job coming up soon where I'm doing one of these fences...where's the best sort of place to get the steel fencing orded/cut?

I am just about to undertake a front brick fence, and i was curious on how you (Jai) went with your front fence. What did the footing look like, i am assuming it is around 400 x 400mm with reo, and reo bars coming up through the main peirs.
I am a steel fabricator welder, so bricks and concrete are not really my thing. Any help would be appreciated. The soil type i have is S type.

Cheers Ljay.
