What Southwark is built on
Scoping fencing at Southwark addresses
Southwark is 2.86 km north-west of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area. The scope is written from what is measured and seen on site, not from an assumed rate or a photo. What is in the post line and how deep the posts have to go decide whether the fence stays straight.
How it goes
The order the work happens in
Every job follows the same sequence, and the sequence is what makes the finished work hold up. Timber paling and capped picket fences, Colorbond, aluminium and timber slat screens, and gates that hang true and keep working. Posts are set in concrete at depths matched to fence height and the ground, and old fencing is removed and disposed of.
01
The old fence comes down and the materials are carted off
02
String lines go up and post positions are marked at even centres
03
Post holes are bored to depth along the line
04
Posts are set in concrete, plumbed and braced
05
Rails and cladding are fixed straight and level
06
Capping and gates go on and the gate is checked for swing

Where these jobs usually start
The same handful of problems turn up again and again on this kind of work. Each one changes the scope, and each is priced as its own line rather than buried in a rate.
01
A fence leaning because the posts were set shallow
02
Panels that have racked out of square on a slope
03
A boundary where the two sides cannot agree on height or cost
04
Gates that have dropped and no longer latch
05
Old fencing that was never taken away and disposed of
Why AOI
Scope and sequence, not guesswork
Fencing at Southwark is priced from a written scope that lists what is included before anything is cut, dug or poured. The same team that scopes the work builds it, so the plan that is approved is the plan that gets built.

Questions from Southwark
Fencing in Southwark — FAQs
Do you cover Southwark for fencing?
Southwark 5031 is serviced, about 2.86 km north-west of the CBD and inside the 60 km radius. We quote from a site inspection.
Can a fence sit on top of a retaining wall?
Yes, on a sloped boundary the fence is commonly carried above a retaining wall. Posts sleeve into the wall or stand on plinths so the fence is tied to the structure, and the wall and fence are built together.
What height can a fence be?
We build to the height the council allows without approval, and taller or heritage-area fences are checked first. The height is confirmed while quoting.
How is fencing priced?
Per linear metre first, then adjusted for height and style, because material and labour differ between a plain fence and a tall slatted feature. Post-line ground and removing the old fence join the scope.
How do shared fence costs work in South Australia?
Under the state Fences Act, adjoining owners usually share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. If one wants a pricier fence than sufficient, that owner pays the extra. We give itemised quotes so they can be attached to the notice.
