I'm just looking for a ballpark figure for square foot cost for labor and materials for retrofitting unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with externally bonded FRP laminates and perhaps a per linear foot labor and material cost for retrofitting URM walls with NSM FRP rods. Can anyone get me in the ballpark? Thanks!

Cost Estimate for FRP Laminate installation and near surface mounted FRP rod/bar installation?

I assume this for the US?
For CMU with surface-mounted wet-layup FRP ballpark cost (material supply and labor install) is $25/SF based upon prepared surface area. Assuming FRP is carbon.
Above price does not include any fire-related coating for smoke-developed or flame-spread, nor fire resistance.
For NSM pultruded bars varies depending if glass or carbon is used. I am a bit out of touch with current pultruded bar pricing so I cannot help you there.
