Or try it on the web →This pool fencing quote template is for fencers and builders pricing residential jobs in Australia. It suits standard glass or aluminium fencing installations. Most quotes go wrong on two items: underestimating the labour for core drilling into concrete, and completely forgetting to add the cost of the final compliance certificate. Getting these right protects your profit margin on the whole job. Use this template to make sure your numbers are accurate and every cost is covered before you send the quote to the client.
Pricing Panels and Labour Per Metre
Frameless glass is a premium product, costing $250-$350 per linear metre for materials alone. A 1.2m panel from a supplier like Glass Outlet costs about $150, plus two stainless steel spigots at $40 each. Aluminium is far cheaper, around $80-$120 per metre in materials from Bunnings. Labour is the other big factor. Glass needs two people to lift safely, so budget for two installers at $80-$110 per hour each. A standard 20-metre job can take a full day. Aluminium can be a one-person job. Always add a 5% waste factor for panel offcuts or breakage.
What Tradies Forget on a Pool Fencing Quote
The small things sink your profit. First, site access. If you can't get the ute close, add labour for carrying heavy glass panels through a house. Second, core drilling. It’s slow work. A diamond core drill bit wears out, and hiring one costs over $100 a day. Price each core hole as a separate labour task. Finally, include the certifier's fee of $400-$600. Using a tool like QuoteMate helps you build a library of these easily forgotten items so they appear on every quote. Always specify that the installation will meet the AS 1926.1 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
A compliant pool gate needs self-closing hinges and a self-latching mechanism. A full kit from a supplier like D&D Technologies with a MagnaLatch and TruClose hinges will cost between $150 and $300 in materials alone. Don't just price a standard hinge; list the specific compliant hardware on your quote.
Yes. A sloping site means stepping the panels, which requires longer posts and more time to get levels right. You can't just run the fence parallel to the ground. Add at least 15-20% to your labour cost for a moderate slope, as it adds a couple of hours to a standard job.
The client pays, but you must include it on your quote. As the installer, you are responsible for arranging the inspection. Include the private certifier's fee, usually $400-$600, as a separate line item. This confirms the job will be done to Australian Standard AS 1926.1.
