    cinder block wall construction
    We are looking to get a quote on constructing a 46x82x17ft Repair/Auto Body Shop in Coral Springs, FL. We have researched all options for metal (pre-engineeed steel) but want to see if building with concrete blocks would be more economical. At this moment we do not have final plans or drawings, but do have preliminary drawings, sketches and survey that we can provide. Giving our research, we have somewhat of an idea of how many blocks and morter it will take. Please, if you are interested in giving us a quote, please send and email and we will be more than happy to forward all information needed.

    You are better off to call 3 contractors in your area and ask for bids. Few of us are anywhere near you and none that I know of who lay cement block.
