Itemised timber fence repair example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 7 entries match the fixture used to make the PDF. Metric surface and length units describe the priced work, not a conversion rule for another property.

Calculation check: 20 each × A$11.20 = A$224.00; 20 each × A$22.40 = A$448.00. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$1,982.40. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Post movement can undermine a simple board repair. This scope assumes sound posts and excludes reset work until it is inspected and priced.
Outside this example: No post replacement, gate rebuild, full fence installation, staining or concealed ground-condition correction.
Selections, access or concealed conditions that differ from this scope require a revised quantity, allowance or separate line. The example deliberately separates them so the client can see what has and has not been priced.

Common questions about timber fence repair
Should a fence repair use the full fence length?
Use the components actually repaired. Full length is useful context but should not replace the picket and rail count.
What if a post is loose?
Document the condition and add a separate post repair or replacement scope after inspection.
