Fence Cost Calculator

Because a price generated from four dropdowns would be wrong often enough to be useless, and misleading the rest of the time. The factors that move a fencing quote in Sydney are site factors: the fall along the boundary, what the ground does at post depth, whether a truck can get close, and what has to come out first. This tool identifies which of those apply to your job so you can brief contractors accurately and compare quotes on scope.

Slope or a difference in levels between the two properties, ground conditions at post depth, removal and disposal of an existing fence, restricted site access, gates and hardware, whether council approval or certification is likely required, and a short run where fixed costs are spread over fewer metres. Any one of them can outweigh the choice of material.

On a flat suburban boundary it is usually the removal and disposal of the old fence. On a sloping block it is almost always the level change, because stepping, plinths or retaining are involved. On a steep or tight site it is access, because hand carting materials affects every stage of the job rather than one line item.

Select not sure. Ground conditions are genuinely hard to judge from the surface, and guessing wrong will skew the picture. As a rough guide, most of western and south western Sydney is reactive shale clay, the northern suburbs and the Sutherland Shire are frequently sandstone, and the coastal suburbs are sand. We check it properly on site.

Two things. Use it to brief every contractor identically so their quotes are comparable, and use it as a checklist of questions: how is the fall being handled, is removal and tipping included, what footing depth is allowed for this ground, and what hardware is on the gates.
