I know I've asked this ages ago.
Had an odd job. Just labour only to erect posts and ht net but no barb. it's a complicated story....
How much per m? Be a few thousand m.

What do you need to earn per hour for your skill set and kit?

I think fencers locally are charging up to £50/hr (excavator with post knocker). I was told, it;s so hard on the digger, that it needs replacing every four years.

We'll start with how many m's can you put up in a day.

Fixed costs like Tractor, knocker, tools, fuel , insurance will cost you £200+ per day.
Then you have labour costs and business profit.
Divide all that by how many m's you put up.

Short answer I wouldn't think it'll be less than £4/m but then I never price work on a m basis.

Standard posts or clipex?

 

[paul&mandy]

Always prefer to do a new fence by the m. Would around 3 per m just to put this fence up without the barb. So strainers, strutted and ht next. All materials supplied by customer.

Creosote strainers and Chestnut stakes.

I'm not an out and out fencing contractor but make a fair job. It just part of what I've done for 25yrs for customers that ask.

Depends where you are fencing, round here you could be 6 hours putting in a strainer, pecking out rock with a digger. Nobody wants to pay for that, but they don't want their strainers lying over either so not sure what they want

Sounds around £3 a metre, I think that’s the going rate.

I don’t get the working out your own costs argument. If someone else is £3 you’ve got to either do it to a better standard or cheaper. I don’t pay more for material if it turns up on newer lorry.

I doubt there’s much rock around Surrey though

 

[paul&mandy]

Thanks. Gone in about the price quoted above.
No rocks on this part of surrey but there are some very rocky areas...

£3 m.............. might go in at £2-90 without barb wire and the fact its a few thousand meters
