Fencing Contractor Apps: Quotes from Run Length, Storm Callouts and Crew Days
Mythex builds the tools a fencing contractor reaches for every day: a quote that turns a run length into posts, panels, gravel boards and postcrete, a storm repair page you can switch on the morning after high winds, and quote visits grouped by area. You describe your business in plain words and publish it with a database behind it.
Where fencing jobs get lost
Most jobs start with a phone photo of a leaning panel and a vague 'about 20 metres'. You drive out, measure, check for roots, slopes and buried concrete, then work out materials on the back of a merchant receipt. In spring everyone wants a price at once. After a storm, the phone rings for three days and half the town needs the same height of panel. Neighbours split the cost of a boundary, and timber prices move between quote and order. The work that slips is the follow-up: quotes not chased, deposits not taken, the neighbour who looked interested and never got a call.
- Run length and panel width turned into a materials list
- Storm callouts sorted by size and area, not by call order
- Quote visits offered on set days per area
- Jobs with two customers and two invoices for shared boundaries
- Materials deposits before ordering from the merchant
- Yard stock of common posts and panels for repairs
What you can build for fence contractors
A quote that counts the posts for you
Enter the run length, height, style and panel width, and the quote works out posts, panels, gravel boards, rails and postcrete bags, then prices them. Add gates as their own lines with hinges and latches, and extras for slopes, hard ground or breaking out old concrete. One spare post and panel per job covers the bay that comes out short.
Build a quote tool for my fencing business. I enter run length, height, style and panel width, and it calculates posts, panels, gravel boards and postcrete bags plus one spare post and panel, prices them from my price list, adds labour, gates and extras for slopes or concrete removal, and produces a quote the customer can accept online.
A storm repair page you switch on overnight
Keep it ready but unlinked. When a named storm is forecast, publish it. The form asks how many panels and posts are down, the height, and for a photo, so you can sort quick panel swaps from full post replacements and plan a route by area instead of returning calls in the order they came.
Make a storm damage landing page for my fencing company with a form asking for address, number of panels and posts down, fence height and photos. Save requests to a database with an admin list I can sort by job size and area.
Quote visits by neighbourhood day
Map areas to weekdays so the booking page only offers slots on the day you cover that postcode. Capture access details, side gates, parking and whether you need the neighbour's side, before you arrive. Storm callouts can jump the queue without wiping out booked visits.
Create a booking page for fencing quote visits where each area is linked to a weekday and customers only see slots on their area's day. Ask for access details and photos of the boundary when they book.
Properties, neighbours and the next job along
Link customers to properties so a shared boundary can carry two names and a split price. Tag leads as storm repair, new fence, gate or commercial, keep site notes on ground, slopes and underground services, and record fence type and install date so a repair five years later starts with the facts.
Build a CRM for my fence contracting business with customers linked to properties, jobs that can have two customers with their own share of the price, lead tags (storm repair, new fence, gate, commercial), site notes, and fence type and install date on finished jobs.
Crew days matched to deliveries and weather
Assign two-person crews to installs and solo slots to small repairs. Store the merchant delivery date on each job and get a warning when an install is booked before the timber arrives. Hold one crew day a week open through the stormy months.
Build crew scheduling for my fencing company: two-person crews on installs, solo repair slots, merchant delivery dates on each job with a warning if the install is earlier, and one unplanned crew day per week from October to March.
Deposits, itemised materials and split bills
Take a materials deposit at booking, then a final invoice that deducts it. Itemise posts, panels, gravel boards and postcrete, charge removal of old fencing separately, and split one job into two invoices when neighbours share the cost.
Build invoicing for a fence contractor with a deposit invoice at booking, a final invoice that deducts it, itemised materials, a separate line for removing old fencing, and split invoices for neighbours sharing a boundary.
From WhatsApp photos to a job list
Begin with the quote tool, because it saves time on every enquiry. Load your price list for the panel heights and post types you use most. Then add the CRM so every accepted quote becomes a job with a property, and the storm page so the next windy night fills a sorted list instead of your voicemail. Crew scheduling comes last, once jobs live in the app.
- Price list first: posts, panels, boards, postcrete, labour per metre
- Then jobs and properties
- Storm page ready before autumn
Watch margins when timber moves
Store the material cost on each quote. When merchant prices rise, a dashboard of open quotes with their current margin shows which ones to requote before the customer accepts. It is one of the easiest ways to stop working a busy spring at a loss.
Questions
Can the quote work out posts and panels from the length?
Yes. Give it the run length and panel width and it calculates posts, panels and gravel boards, then prices them from your list. You can add a spare post and panel to every quote.
Can customers accept a fencing quote online?
Yes. Ask for an accept button on the quote page that turns it into a job. Taking the deposit online needs a payment provider you connect with your own account.
Can I split one job between two neighbours?
Yes. Ask for jobs with more than one customer, each with a share of the price and their own invoice.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe the tools in plain words and Mythex builds them. You adjust them by chatting, such as 'add a 1.2m picket option'.
Can my crew use it on their phones?
Yes, the published app opens in any phone browser. On Pro, it can also ship as Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.
Is it free?
Free costs nothing, asks for no card, and its daily credits cover building and publishing. Pro is $25/month for a custom domain, code editing and phone apps.
