Site Fencing-- Light Wire Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Light wire stock fencing to secure a job site. Fencing is attached to metal fence posts driven into ground with a sledge hammer. The unit size is one lineal foot.

Labor Costs

We figure one skilled hour (carpenter) per 30 feet of fencing, plus one unskilled hour (laborer) per 20 feet of fencing.

Material Costs

The cost includes stock fencing, metal fence posts every 8 feet, and some wire to fasten the fencing to the posts.

Source of Construction Pricing

We used the same installation times as for plastic mesh fencing.

Comments

This unit cost does not include any salvage value for the fencing or posts. On a short-term job you might want to use a negative waste factor of maybe -30% to -50% to account for reuse.
