Compound wall means a wall separating two independent plots. It may be built by the two neighbours jointly

A compound wall serves to delimit your home or building, ensures privacy and protection. Thus the primary purpose of a wall is security. It prevents trespassers from moving into your property and restricts entry into your personal space. The contemporary houses today are independent units using more transparent elements like glass windows and more open spaces to improve their aesthetic appeal. Therefore it is inevitable for them to have compound walls.
