Fencing & Boundaries
This hub covers fencing contractors, palisade installers, wooden fence builders, boundary wall builders, razor wire installers, balustrade installers, and farm fencing. Fencing is priced by the metre, but there is a lot more to the quote than just the linear run. A palisade quote lists the paling height, the post centres, concrete for each post, the top rail, fixings, a gate or gates with frame and hinges, and labour per metre.
A boundary wall lists blockwork per square metre, foundations, plaster, paint, and coping. Razor wire lists the coil type, brackets, and linear metres. QuoteGenio gives you an itemised quote where every component is visible per metre or per unit, so the client sees exactly what they are paying for and there is nothing hidden.
Deposits cover materials on order, and gates or automation are quoted as separate line items so the client can accept the fence now and add the gate later without requoting the whole job.

Why fencing and boundary trades use QuoteGenio
Fencing clients compare quotes by the metre, but the cheapest per-metre price often hides shallow post holes, missing concrete, or lightweight paling. QuoteGenio lets you list paling spec, post size, post centres, concrete per post, top and bottom rails, fixings, and labour as separate lines, so the client can see why your quote is what it is and why the cheaper one might not last.
Gates and gate motors sit on their own lines with brand, size, and automation spec listed, which stops a competitor winning on a price that does not include the gate hardware. On boundary walls, blockwork, foundations, plaster, paint, and coping are each a billable line, so there is no argument about what is included.
Deposits of 30 to 50 percent cover steel, timber, or block on order, and the terms sit on the PDF so the client agrees in writing. Accepted quotes become invoices with one click when the fence is up.

Common questions
Everything Fencing & Boundaries businesses ask before getting started.
List paling height and spec, post size and centres, concrete per post, top rail, fixings, and labour per metre on separate lines. Then add gates, posts, and automation as their own items. The client sees why your price is what it is, and a detailed quote beats a cheaper lump sum from a competitor cutting corners.
For jobs over about $ 1,500 most fencing contractors take a 30 to 50 percent deposit to cover steel, timber, or block on order. State the deposit on the quote so the client agrees in writing when they accept online, then invoice it immediately.
List foundations, blockwork per square metre, plaster, paint, and coping on separate lines. Add pillar caps, expansion joints, and any electrical conduit as their own items. The client sees a full spec and can compare against a competitor on the same terms.
Yes, and it is good practice. List the fence as one section and the gate, frame, hinges, motor, remotes, safety beams, and battery backup as separate items. The client can accept the fence now and add automation later without requoting.
Include a standard note on the quote that the price assumes normal ground conditions. If rock or old foundations are hit during post installation, raise a variation quote for the additional excavation or core drilling and send it via WhatsApp for sign-off before you continue.
Per linear metre for the fencing run, plus per-gate and per-corner-post as separate line items. Customers comparing fencing quotes look at per-metre rates first; without yours visible, you lose to the cheaper-looking competitor whose quote excludes the post and gate cost.
