Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I've been conducting a survey of stone walls in Yokohama for the past few days.

We've been conducting a great many stone wall surveys recently.

The number has skyrocketed, including surveys for next year's public works projects.

However, it seems the client has also been getting quotes from other companies and discussing various matters with them, so there were a few interesting stories? that came up.

Since this is a private construction project, it seems they are requesting quotes from local contractors and landscape contractors.

Apparently, what often happens in those situations is that they try to push you into things you don't really need or try to scare you about the risks, lol.

Well, considering the effort involved each time, it’s definitely better to do a little construction work and make some extra money.

That's why it seems they're even suggesting unnecessary construction work.

For example, this stone wall won't hold unless it's removed and replaced with a retaining wall (5 million yen or more).

Or, since it's already sticking out, I'll have to restack the stones (it isn't sticking out).

If things keep going like this, the house is going to start leaning, isn't it? We'll have to do some work to put something under the foundation... (I don't understand why—what happened to the discussion about the stone wall??)

We're not builders, so we don't know the first thing about construction.

That’s why I’d be at a loss if asked about that part, but as for whether the stone wall will collapse or not? I think the correct answer is that it’ll probably collapse lol (if left alone).

I'm not sure if the current situation is dangerous, but it would be better if there were some kind of drainage system to prevent internal pressure from building up on the stone wall, I guess~

As long as the stone wall is properly maintained, it will not collapse.

There are various other ways to spend money to make it rock-solid, but I still believe you shouldn't carry out unnecessary construction work.

A million in the private sector is a lot, isn't it?

That said, it doesn’t make sense to reinforce the structure more than necessary through unnecessary construction, so it’s best to reinforce it as much as possible within the limits of what’s feasible (while maintaining a consistent level of quality), right?

When reinforcing stone walls or similar structures, I think it’s safer to be sure to contact us, the professionals, and get a quote.

That way, there won't be any need for unnecessary construction work.

See you later
