FENCING ESTIMATING.

## Fencing Estimates in Nashville Move Fast — Your Bids Should Too Nashville's construction market has not slowed down. New residential subdivisions in Antioch, Nolensville, and the Gulch-adjacent infill projects mean fence contractors are juggling back-to-back site visits. If you're still building bids in a spreadsheet the night before, you're leaving money on the table and risking the job entirely. Estimate.Pro is built for fence contractors who need a priced bid in the time it takes to drive from one site to the next. --- ## What Makes Fencing Estimating Different in Nashville **Terrain.** Middle Tennessee's rolling topography means stepped fencing, raked panels, and variable post depths are the rule, not the exception. A flat-rate linear-foot bid blows up the moment you hit a grade change. Estimate.Pro lets you segment runs by slope and apply different labor rates per section — so your margin holds even when the land doesn't cooperate. **Material volatility.** Pressure-treated pine pricing out of Middle Tennessee lumber yards has swung hard since 2020. Cedar, vinyl, and aluminum all carry their own lead times. Estimate.Pro stores your material costs in a saved workspace. When your supplier updates pricing, you update one number — every template tied to that material recalculates automatically. **Permit requirements.** Metro Nashville (Metro Codes) requires a zoning review and permit for most privacy fence installations exceeding 4 feet in residential zones and 8 feet in commercial. Missing that step costs you time and credibility. Your estimates can include a permit-fee line item so the client sees the full project cost upfront — no surprise add-ons after contract signing. **HOA density.** Nashville's suburban growth corridors — Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet — sit inside some of the highest HOA-density areas in Tennessee. That means fence contractors regularly deal with HOA material spec requirements: board-on-board cedar only, black aluminum with specific picket spacing, no chain-link visible from the street. Estimate.Pro supports multiple material configurations per estimate so you can present an HOA-approved option alongside a cost-alternative in a single bid document. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Fence Contractors **Walkthrough to bid in 8 minutes.** Pull up the app on site. Walk the perimeter. Use AR measurement on supported devices — ONNX-assisted live measurement captures linear footage without a tape measure on straightforward runs. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates so you're never presenting a number you can't defend. **AI scope-of-work generation.** After your walkthrough, the app drafts the scope: material specs, post spacing, gate count, concrete yardage for footings, demolition of existing fence if applicable. You review, edit, and send. The AI handles the first draft; you handle the final call. **Priced line items — your numbers, not generic averages.** Estimate.Pro does not replace your judgment with national average data you don't trust. You build your own material cost workspace with the prices you actually pay. Labor rates you set. That's the number that hits the bid. **Stripe Connect invoicing on Pro+ plans.** Once the job is won, convert the estimate to an invoice and collect deposit or payment via Stripe Connect. Pro and Elite plans carry 0% platform fee on payments processed through the app. --- ## Plans That Fit a Fence Crew Fence contracting often runs lean — an owner-operator or a small crew of two to four. Estimate.Pro's pricing reflects that. - **Free tier:** No credit card. No time limit. Good for testing the workflow on real jobs. - **Pro — $39/seat/month:** Full estimating workflow, saved material cost workspace, unlimited bids. - **Elite — $79/seat/month:** Adds Stripe Connect invoicing, invoice exports, and advanced workflow tools. - **Crew — $399/month flat:** One price for the whole company, regardless of seat count. Right-sized for a fence operation running multiple crews across Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Purpose-Built for Fencing Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades.
