Fencing Quote Cairns & Port Douglas
What to consider
When it comes to installing a top-quality fence in Cairns, Port Douglas and surrounds, obtaining a comprehensive quote is an essential step in the process – no matter what type of fence material you choose.
Understanding what factors to consider when getting a fence quote can help you know what to expect, make informed decisions and ensure a successful project.
We have outlined the key aspects that are taken into account when we quote fencing projects. From materials and design options to site preparation and installation requirements, we aim to help you navigate the quoting process and ultimately choose the right fence for your property.
1. Type of Fence
What type of fence is best suited to you and your needs? For example, Colorbond, timber, aluminium slats, etc. What is the purpose of the fence (e.g. privacy, security, aesthetics)?
Different materials have varying costs and installation requirements.
2. Fence Height & Length
How high and long does the fence need to be?
The length of the fence will significantly impact the material and labour costs – longer fences naturally cost more.
3. Materials
What quality, grade and colour (if applicable) materials do you need?
Higher-quality materials may cost more upfront but can result in a more durable and long-lasting fence.
4. Site Preparation
What is the current condition of the site where the fence is to be installed? Does vegetation, obstacles or an old fence need to be removed? Is there uneven terrain where retaining walls may be required?
All of the above factors can influence the price and delivery time of your fencing project.
5. Gates & Hardware
How many gates are required? Locks and hinges?
Make sure you discuss everything you need to ensure we can provide as accurate a quote as possible.
6. Permits & Regulations
Are there any local regulations or building codes that might mean a permit for fence installation is required?
Some areas may have specific requirements or restrictions that can impact the cost of the project.
7. Labour Costs
Are you seeking a quote for materials only or materials and labour?
Skilled and experienced labour may come at a higher cost but can save you a lot of time and costly mistakes.
8. Timeline
How urgent is your fencing project?
In some cases, expedited services may incur additional costs.
9. Maintenance & Warranties
Have you considered what maintenance might be required to ensure your fence stands the test of time?
Despite the use of high-quality materials, a fence is like any other living being or structure and will at some point in time, require some care and maintenance. Factoring in what longer term maintenance activities may be required can help you choose the best option for your circumstances.
In some cases, the type of fence material chosen might come with a warranty (e.g. Colorbond). Make sure you know what warranties exist if any so that you can apply for a warranty application.
