Yes for Salt Lake Sector V tech corridor, New Town Action Area II/III, BBD Bagh financial district, Park Street commercial. Quote multi-layer commercial fencing (concrete plinth + chain-link + razor wire + CCTV mast) at ₹4,500-₹12,000/lm with PE-stamped drawings and 5-10 year warranty. Annual AMC ₹85,000-₹4,50,000 per site.
Per-metre installed rates: timber ₹2,500-180/m, Colorbond ₹4,000-250/m, aluminium slat ₹6,200-350/m, palisade ₹7,800-450/m. Glass pool fence runs ₹8,700-550/m. These are 1.8m heights; add 20-30% per extra 600mm of height.
Colorbond is steel sheet with baked-on colour, lasts 20-40 years, never needs painting, costs 40-60% more than timber. Timber lasts 12-25 years, needs oiling or staining every 3-5 years, costs less upfront. Colorbond wins on lifetime cost; timber wins on aesthetics and immediate budget.
For fencing over ₹62,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare material grade, post setting method, height, gate spec, and warranty. The cheapest quote often skips concrete posts, uses sub-grade material, or omits gate hardware.
In most regions, boundary fences are joint property between neighbours; you both pay 50/50 for replacement. Get neighbour sign-off in writing BEFORE quoting work. Some regions have legislated fencing cost-sharing.
Yes for front-yard fences over 1.2m, pool fences (compliance certificate), and many security fences. The contractor should know your local rules and quote any approvals as line items.
