Run The Labor Math
What Could a Better Wall Install System Save You?
Put in a typical retaining wall for your crew. We'll use our Wall Screed testing, real-world BL 450 production numbers, and Parallel Marking Gauge timing to estimate your potential labor savings.
Every crew and every wall is different. This isn't a promise of production. It's a simple way to put some numbers behind the labor you're already paying for.

Where the estimate comes from
Wall Screed
Based on reducing base leveling from about 2 minutes per linear foot
to about 1 minute per linear foot. This applies to the first course only.
$0 saved
BL 450
Based on 38 ft of wall set in about 7 minutes versus roughly
1.5 minutes per block by hand.
$0 saved
Parallel Marking Gauge
Based on 16" caps, 60 seconds to measure and mark by hand,
and 15 seconds using the Parallel Marking Gauge.
$0 saved
At roughly $1,500 for the Wall Install System, this estimate works out to about 0 similar jobs in estimated labor savings to offset the cost of the system.
And this does not count everything.
The BL 180 and Sim 80 are part of the Wall Install System, but we have not
assigned them any labor savings in this calculator. Their potential benefits
for block handling, positioning, strain reduction, and workflow are not included
in the dollar estimate above.
How this estimate works:
Wall Screed savings use our average testing of approximately
2 minutes per linear foot when hand leveling versus approximately
1 minute per linear foot using the Wall Screed. This applies to the first course only.
BL 450 savings use the contractor example of approximately
38 linear feet of 84 lb block installed in 7 minutes with a
3-person operation versus roughly 1.5 minutes per block by hand.
The BL 450 calculation is applied across every course entered.
Parallel Marking Gauge savings assume 16-inch caps.
The calculator estimates the number of caps required from the wall length,
subtracts one because the two outside ends do not both require marking,
and compares approximately 60 seconds per marking session by hand
versus approximately 15 seconds using the Parallel Marking Gauge.
Results are estimates only. Actual labor savings vary based on
block size, wall design, cap size, material staging, machine access,
crew workflow, site conditions, operator experience, and other factors.
Install Retaining Walls With Less Labor
Retaining walls take time.
Leveling the base. Setting the first course. Moving and placing heavy blocks. Measuring and cutting caps. Then doing it all over again on the next wall.
The Wall Install System brings together 5 tools designed to make that entire process more efficient, from preparing your base to finishing your caps.
Less hand leveling. Less lifting. Less measuring. A better system for your crew.
Instead of attacking every step of the wall install with more manual labor, give your crew tools built specifically for the job.
One System. 5 Tools. Every Stage of the Wall.
- Get your wall base level before the first block ever goes down.
- Rather than setting and hand leveling every base course block individually, the Wall Screed lets you quickly screed a perfectly level base for your first course.
- In our testing, hand leveling took about 2 minutes per linear foot, compared with about 1 minute per linear foot using the Wall Screed.
- That cuts the time spent on that part of the install roughly in half.
- Once your base is ready, set your first course without wrestling every block into position.
- The BL 180 gives you a controlled way to pick, position, and set smaller wall blocks either by hand or with a machine.
- That means less strain on your crew and more control where it matters most: your base course.
- Now start moving wall block without relying on muscle alone.
- The BL 450 can pick and set multiple retaining wall blocks at once, helping your crew move through courses faster while reducing repetitive lifting.
- One contractor using the BL 450 reported setting about 38 feet of 84 lb block in just under 7 minutes with two laborers and himself operating a mini.
- Previously, his crew was setting those blocks by hand at roughly 2 to 3 minutes per block.
- If your crew installs walls regularly, those minutes can add up fast.
- Requires an excavator or compatible machine. Machine not included :)
Quick-E-Parallel Marking Gauge
- Stop measuring every wall cap the "old" way.
- Instead of pulling a tape, doing the math, finding center, and transferring your measurements, the Parallel Marking Gauge lets you quickly transfer the shape and mark the cut.
- No dividing. No guessing. Just mark it and cut it.
- Adjust blocks without beating up the face.
- The Sim 80 gives you the control you need for adjusting and fine-tuning retaining wall block during installation.
- Its dual-head design makes it a simple but important part of the complete wall workflow.
Why Buy the Complete Wall Install System?
Because retaining wall efficiency doesn't come from making one part of the job faster.
It comes from improving the whole process.
The Wall Install System gives your crew purpose-built tools for:
- Screeding and leveling the wall base
- Setting the base course
- Moving and placing heavy wall block
- Marking caps for cutting
- Adjusting and fine-tuning block
The result is a more organized installation process with less unnecessary manual work throughout the job.
And when your crew spends less time hand leveling, lifting, measuring, and hauling the material, you have more labor available for actually building the wall.
What's Included:
Your Crew Is Already Doing the Work. Give Them a Better System to Do It.
If retaining walls are a regular part of your business, don't just add more labor to the next one.
Give your crew the tools to make the labor you already have go further.

It is the sole responsibility of the company owner, job site foreman, and the machine/tool operators to ensure the safety of all workers by fully inspecting the tools & equipment before each use in their entirety. Pre-use areas of inspection include, but are not limited to, hooks, chains, connections, pins, clamping surfaces, nuts, bolts, pads, welds, knuckles, joints, handles and pressure points for signs of weakness, cracking, crazing, loose connections and general soundness, etc. Never use a tool that appears to be unsafe, bent, damaged, mounted with worn out straps or rusty old chains. As with all lifting apparatus, crew safety is the number one concern and every measure possible must be performed to keep your crew safe.
NEVER, EVER DWELL UNDER A MOVING OR A HOISTED LOAD. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS FREE AND CLEAR OF DANGER ZONES. WORKER SAFETY IS ALWAYS #1.
