Why these questions
- Fence length is the base of your price. Customers can draw the line on the map, which is often more accurate than guessing.
- Height and material set the cost per metre or foot.
- Gates are priced separately.
- Ground matters: concrete or slopes take longer to dig and set posts.

5Reading a request#
Each request opens with a quick assessment: coloured flags for what matters most in this trade.
- Length: flagged by size (anything above 30 m stands out).
- Material: Not sure is flagged as needing attention (cost, access or risk).
- Height: Over 1.8 m (6 ft) is flagged as needing attention (cost, access or risk).
- Old fence: Yes is flagged as needing attention (cost, access or risk).
- Ground: Concrete / paving, Sloped is flagged as needing attention (cost, access or risk).
- Gates: shown for quick reading.
- Site visit: highlighted when it is today or tomorrow, so you can plan quickly.
- Location: shows whether the customer set an exact map pin, which makes directions easy.
What to look at first
- When the customer drew the line, the request shows it on a map: zoom in to check it follows the real boundary.
- Sloped or concrete ground adds time.
- Removing an old fence adds labour and disposal.
