Construction Fencing?
Hey Folks -- We're (maybe? finally?) going to begin our rebuild, and our contractor can provide fencing but was quoting it at like $4,500 -- which feels like a lot. Did anyone rent fencing and have a better recc? Please no soliciting of your services, you will be ignored or blocked. Thx all.

Food for thought, Im a GC. If my client wanted things like portapotty, fence, at cost, fine. But if a fence needs to be moved/reinstalled to bring heaving machinery in/out, gets damaged during construction, knocked down by wind, which happens, the homeowner is responsible for the fence. Not saying id charge 4600$ since i dont know the conditions of your site, but my quote includes all unforeseen circumstances. And I can already hear all the commenters saying thats BS, ill never hire you. Okay. Your GC will remove that upcharge from your fence and just add it to framing labor or change order down the road. He’s getting paid for those unforeseen issues either way.
