FenceFence cost calculator
Fence cost calculator: post price, board price, rail price, panel price, gate price, labour per metre, removal per metre, other costs, contingency percent, tax percent.
↗Costs
Start with quantities, then attach prices. Height, privacy level and product specification affect material costs. Gate width and hardware can change the supporting posts and installation work. Delivery, minimum labour charges and site access can matter even when fence length is unchanged.
Ask how excavation, roots, existing footings, slopes and waste disposal are priced. Keep removal separate from new installation. Identify taxes, permit fees and any work excluded from the quote. A single per-metre rate is useful only when its included scope is explicit.
What changes fence installation costs?

↗What to include in a contractor quote
Give each contractor the same sketch, height, product specification and gate plan. Request a quantity breakdown and describe the required finish. Ask which materials, hardware, reinforcement and footing details are included. Identify who confirms boundaries, approvals and utility locations.
↗Fence removal: what adds to the budget?
Record the existing length, material and post positions. Note whether posts are concreted in and whether access permits machinery or only manual work. A fence attached to a wall or shared with a neighbor may require a different removal sequence and agreement.
