Fencing is priced by the lineal metre, but height, post spacing, site access and whether the old fence needs pulling out swing the number well beyond a simple run length. Tradewin prices each job against your real posts, panels, concrete and labour costs — Colorbond, timber paling, pool fencing, gates — and sends the quote before you leave the site. Save your standard fence types as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next per-metre quote is a two-tap job.

Pre-loaded job types with benchmarks — plus the ability to add your own custom jobs.
The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.
A standard 1.8m fence and a raised or lapped-and-capped run use more material per metre and closer post spacing — height moves the per-lineal-metre rate directly.
Pulling out and disposing of the old fence is real labour and tip fees that customers rarely price in — quoting it separately keeps the job profitable.
Glass and aluminium pool fencing must meet the barrier standard, and compliance certification carries re-inspection fees if it fails first time — worth its own line.
Gates are priced each, not per metre, and drive type, intercom and access hardware on an automated gate drive wide variation over a plain swing gate.
Automated Gate
Drive type, intercom/access requirements, and gate weight drive wide variation.
Colorbond Fence
Height, post spacing, and whether removal of existing fence is included affect pricing.
Fence Repair
Damage extent and fence type affect repair scope.
Glass Pool Fence
Frameless vs. semi-frameless and post spacing drive significant price difference.
Picket Fence
Timber vs. aluminium pickets, post type, and paint finish affect pricing.
Pool Fence Compliance Cert
Re-inspection fees apply if the fence fails first inspection.

Yes — glass and aluminium pool fencing are per-lineal-metre job types, and pool fence compliance inspection is a separate item so you can quote the barrier and the certification cleanly, including re-inspection if needed.
Yes. Timber, sliding and automated gates are priced each rather than per metre, so drive type, intercom and access hardware are costed into the gate on top of the fence run.
