Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with whether the job needs engineered footings or retaining works versus a standard suburban install. Premium materials and their handling or lead times typically increase labour and coordination needs. Callout fees and hourly labour rates also influence final quotes.
Engineering and footings
Jobs requiring engineered footings, deeper excavation or structural posts usually add complexity and extra labour.
Material specification and handling
Higher-spec materials like glass, aluminium slats or specialty hardwood often need more careful handling and increase on-site labour.
Site access and ground conditions
Rocky ground, restricted side access or steep sites typically make installation slower and more difficult.
Existing fence removal
Standard installs usually exclude removal of an old fence, so including demolition and disposal will change the job scope.
Third‑party trades and approvals
Engineered or retaining jobs often require coordination with concreters, excavators or engineering sign-off, which can extend time and scope.
