Why Fencing Estimation is Eating Away at Your Profits
Ask any fencing contractor: the biggest waste of time is not digging postholes or nailing pickets. It is running back and forth to the distributor because the material count was wrong.
- The Extra Picket Trip: Running short by 12 pickets or 2 rails halts your crew, burns gas, wastes 2 hours of labor driving to the supplier, and makes your company look completely unprofessional to the homeowner.
- The Concrete Bag Guesswork: Under-ordering concrete bags for fence posts means loose posts and eventual sagging. Over-ordering leaves dozens of heavy bags decaying in the back of your truck or rotting in the client's grass.
- Slow Proposals Kill the Deal: Fencing is a highly competitive trade. Homeowners collect 3 or 4 bids. If you wait 24 hours to type up your quote, your competitor who handed them a quote before leaving the driveway has already signed the contract.

The Ultimate Command Center for Fencing Estimations
FieldSquire Fence Builder is an offline-ready mobile application and desktop command dashboard designed for professional fence companies to run instant material math and close deals faster.
Smart Picket Calculator
Whether you are building board-on-board, privacy, shadowbox, or split-rail fences, the tool calculates the exact number of wood pickets, posts, horizontal rails, and fastening screws based on actual layout width.
Hardware & Gate Builder
Never forget hinges, latches, drop rods, post caps, or gate frame reinforcements. Select how many walk-gates or drive-gates are on the property, and the app injects hardware kits directly into your quote list.
On-the-Spot PDF Quotes
Compile beautiful, professional PDF quotes complete with your business logo, custom payment schedules, and a digital signature field. Text or email it to the client directly from the screen.
How Fence Builder Slaughters Manual Excel Bidding
Fence Builder handles all the complex edge cases. Got a gate that requires double posts? Is there a corner section that changes post spacing? Do you have to quote Treated Pine for the posts but Cedar for the pickets?
FieldSquire features a **flexible wood type selector**. Run pine, cedar, redwood, vinyl, or chain link cost maps against your dimensions instantly. It updates wood picket counts, rail lengths, post heights, and labor difficulty scales (e.g. digging in rocky dirt vs sandy soil) automatically.
Custom Price Imports
Upload CSV sheets from local lumber yards and hardware suppliers. See immediate profit margins update in real time.
Mobile Android APK
Runs locally on your phone or tablet. Complete offline functionality so you can estimate in remote backyards.

What Fencing Contractors Say
Read reviews from builders who scaled their margins with Fence Builder.
"I used to guess picket counts and would end up either returning a truckload of lumber or running back to Home Depot for 10 boards. Since using Fence Builder, our material orders are spot on. It calculates pickets, posts, rails, and concrete bags down to the single unit. Game-changer."
