Site Fencing Cost-- Chain Link

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Chain link fencing to secure a long term job site. The unit size is one lineal foot.

Labor Costs

We figure one skilled hour (carpenter) per 20 feet of fencing, plus one unskilled hour (laborer) per 10 feet of fencing.

Material Costs

The cost includes chain link fencing and posts, with a top bar and a gate every 50 feet.

Source of Construction Pricing

We used a rough estimate of fencing labor and materials that calculated to the same price as a subcontractor quote.

Comments

This unit cost does not include any salvage value for the fencing or posts. If you are able to re-use the components, figure a negative waste factor of maybe -33% to -50% to account for reuse.
