Pricing guide
Cost variation is driven by the fence system you choose and the materials involved. Labour time and the callout fee are also key drivers, while specialised glass installations, engineered footings or any council-mandated structural work are typically quoted separately. Temporary tensioned systems usually have different labour and material balances compared with permanent rigid barriers.
Fence material and system
Aluminium or timber pickets, frameless/semi-frameless glass and tensioned mesh all have different material, hardware and handling needs that influence cost.
Length and number of gates
Longer runs and additional gates increase the number of posts, hardware and installation time required.
Callout and labour time
The callout fee plus the hours on site (including any two-person labour for glass) form a large part of the total charge.
Footings and ground conditions
Typical post digging with concrete is assumed, but rocky ground, core drilling or the need for engineered footings increases complexity and is usually quoted separately.
Installation access and handling
Restricted access or the need to carefully handle toughened glass and specialist fixings can increase labour effort and time.
