Hi all,

Did a quick search but couldn't find anything related to my question as follows -

How much would I expect to pay per metre for a 1.8m high timber lap and cap fence? I have a quote from our builder for $70/m (materials and labour) and wondering if this is cheap/mid range/expensive. I'm located in Western Sydney, NSW.

Thanks!

Helena

Last time I checked it was about $50-55 per meter, but it was one year ago in Melbourne, not Sydney.
I would suggest calling to a couple of local tradies and ask them. After all the fence can be built after moving in the new house, can't it?

We had our fence built at about $75 p/m.. It was slightly more expensive as it was built on top of a 5ft retaining wall. I think $70 would be fair (I guess) perhaps get some quotes.. Nothing stopping you having fencing people go out and quote whilst building.

actually not in this case, no... Fencing is included in our building package so for the bank to pay out the final amount, all contract items must be complete, which includes fences & landscaping... Was a good idea at the time of signing the contract and as we're first time builders still a good idea but next time i'm already drafting my list of things we will organise ourselves :)

asking about the cost as the contract includes our half of the fencing cost so we either need to get the remainder off the neighbours upfront or pay it ourselves and chase them after we move in. Didnt want to give them the quote and ask for the money to have them go "are you kidding thats so expensive!"

A quote recently in Victoria is $54 per metre for a fence with capping.

Looking at $80 per lineal metre in Newcastle for the exact type of fence.

Think that price is reasonable.

Our is about $70/m but that is for the exposed posts too... Not sure how to better explain it, but my parents have it without the exposed posts and it was nearly $20/m cheaper. This is in melbourne though!
