Fence installation estimate
All sample dimensions, concrete yield, and rates are editable illustrative inputs. Blank supplier quotes stay unpriced.
| Posts: installed / ordered / priced | 8 / 8 / 8 |

| Panels: installed / ordered / priced | 7 / 7 / 7 |
| Concrete: net / ordered / priced bags | 0.291 m³ / 0.291 m³ / 14 |
Current partial result
Partial estimate — add any required missing supplier rates.
Installed / ordered / priced posts: 8 / 8 / 8. Concrete is priced as whole bags after compatible volumes are combined.
- Gate topology edges are priced as separate gate lines and are excluded from normal fence-length labor.
- Concrete requirements for compatible product identities are summed at full precision before bag rounding.
- Rates, tax, and contingency eligibility are user-entered; no local price or tax is assumed.

How it works and assumptions
Enter each uninterrupted fence run and each gate as separate layout edges. The estimator counts shared posts once, retains installed and ordered material counts separately, and aggregates compatible concrete groups before whole-bag rounding.
Add only quotes you have received: material rates, a separately priced gate, either hourly or normal-fence-length labor, and optional fixed fees. Blank prices remain unpriced rather than becoming zero. This is a planning worksheet, not a structural fence design, permit check, or local-price promise.
