We just tackled our first major structural job — a 40-metre block wall on a steep site — and it was a massive challenge. In this episode, I’ll take you through every step of the build, from the tricky site conditions to waterproofing and backfilling.

We’re on a seriously sloping section, and this wall had to hold back tons of earth while making space for a new home. I’ll walk you through the key engineering details with Gerald from Creeso, show you how we broke the job into manageable stages, and share what we learned (and would do differently) on a project this size.
