Specialist estimating for fencing & retaining wall contractors

Quote based on how you build.
Not just what you build.

Missed materials, underestimated labour or overlooked site conditions can quickly reduce the margin on a job. BoundaryHub is being developed for fencing and retaining wall contractors to estimate using their own construction methods, calculating material requirements, labour allowances, job costs and estimated margin without generic per-metre rates.

The problems we're solving

Stop guessing what the job will cost.

A price per metre can't tell you how many materials to order, how much crew time to allow or what the quoted work will cost. BoundaryHub is being developed to turn the details of each job into a more complete estimate.

01

Stop guessing materials and labour

Calculate quantities and time allowances from your company's configured construction methods and productivity assumptions.

02

Allow for the real job scope

Capture fence and wall sections, gates, removal, mounting requirements and site conditions that influence cost.

03

See the margin you're quoting

Review estimated costs, proposed selling price and resulting estimated margin before sending a quote.

04

Get a materials list with every estimate

See material descriptions, sizes and quantities in a usable list to assist ordering and preparation.

05

Know how much crew time to allow

See activity-by-activity labour allowances and total estimated crew duration for planning.

06

Cut repetitive quoting work

Reuse your company's construction settings instead of rebuilding the same calculations for every job.

More than a selling price. Know what materials you need, how much labour to allow and what margin you're quoting.

The estimated job cost drives the pricing decision, not the other way around.

Why it's different

Your expertise becomes your estimating system.

Many contractors have the know-how in their heads or spread across spreadsheets. BoundaryHub is designed to turn that knowledge into repeatable company configurations that are applied to each quote.

1
Define how your business builds

Set up company materials, construction activities, labour costs and productivity assumptions.

2
Describe the job and conditions

Enter fence and wall sections, dimensions, methods and relevant site conditions.

3
Calculate resources and costs

See material requirements, labour allocations and estimated job cost.

4
Decide on your selling price

Apply company pricing rules and see the estimated margin before issuing the quote.

Not someone else's per-metre formula.

BoundaryHub is intended to understand the connected construction work behind the quote, rather than treat every item as an unrelated line with a quantity and unit price.

  • Company-defined methods, not mandatory universal recipes
  • Scope-driven materials and task-based labour
  • Costs calculated before margin and selling price
  • Results useful for purchasing and labour planning
A focused product

Specialist estimating. Not another CRM.

BoundaryHub is focused on figuring out what a job requires, what it is estimated to cost and what to charge, while complementing the business systems you already use.

Not a job manager

Materials and labour outputs can help you prepare work; BoundaryHub isn't positioned as your scheduling or operations platform.

Not a fixed-rate calculator

Your company defines its methods and cost assumptions rather than relying on universal per-metre rates.

Not just quote formatting

The quote is an output of a construction-based estimate, not merely a list of prices typed into a document.

Built from trade experience

Developed by someone who actually quotes fencing and retaining walls.

BoundaryHub was born out of the frustrations and estimating challenges experienced firsthand while running a fencing and retaining wall business.

It's being developed and tested using real-world construction scenarios and actual jobs, with a focus on making estimating more accurate, consistent and efficient.

The goal is simple: to create a practical estimating system built around how fencing and retaining wall contractors actually work, not how software developers assume they work.

Built for the estimating work itself.

Not another CRM. Not a job manager. Not just a way to format a quote.

BoundaryHub is focused on construction requirements, cost and pricing, and the materials and labour outputs that help prepare a job.

Commercial validation

Could BoundaryHub change the way you quote?

We're looking for Australian fencing and retaining wall contractors to tell us which quoting problems matter most and whether a specialist estimating system would justify a monthly subscription.

We want to understand which estimating problems matter most, what contractors use today and whether the proposed capabilities justify a monthly subscription.
