Cost to make and install fence in Isaan

[4MyEgo]

Anyone had one of these fences made and installed, if so can you provide me with a rate per square metre.

 

I have the materials which cost me about 300 baht per square metre, although the labourer will have to weld it together and install.

Back fence - (I'm at work but from memory 20 gaps that needed to be filled, each gap 2.5mx1.8m high), was 5,000 baht in labour (paint, weld, connect to posts).
Child play safe area - also with a gate that continues along the house was 7,000 to install (paint, weld, bolt to ground). 

Slightly different from yours as no holes dug, and the price was just a job price, not based on square metres.
However, am needing to do another one similar to yours with dug holes (30mx1.8m with gate), and wouldn't expect it to be anymore than 10,000. 

Just two cousins of a very close friend of ours who do things relatively cheap so you keep giving them work. They came and measured it all up, wrote a list of what they needed and just told us to get the shop to send the materials to their house. Our friend is a cost engineer for the local area so materials weren't that much as went through the shop that he uses. They said just to pay for the electricity, fuel and a bit of labour. Fences are strong enough for their purposes (not block out the view, and keep kids safe if we have to be in the front part of the house near carport).

If it does its intended job and if not overly important how it looks or that it isn't as strong as it could possibly be then I would just get the local jack of all trades guy in. Would have been a similar price for us with 2 of the local village guys we use for maintenance. 

If use company/specialist the price will be ridiculous. The are usually just used by the government buildings and the rich so quote high numbers.

Thanks for your detailed information, we have this guy who said he will make them exactly like yours which are within the fence posts in your picture, but will dig 16 x 500mm holes to put the steel fence poles in, then the 1.5 high x 2.5 wide square sections that he will make, his cost 1200 baht per section, and we have 40 square metres either side which would cost 19,200 baht per side.

 

I worked out that the 2.5 metres would cost me no more than 700 baht per section and my thoughts are as yours are, i.e. whatever the materials cost, it should be around the same, i.e. 700 baht per section x 16 sections = 11,200 baht for a Jack of all trades, so in my opinion he is about 8,000 baht to rich per side.

 

It doesn't take long to make these, I swear you could make 4 a day taking your time and if you go by his price that's 4,800 baht per day for labour, when these guys make about 500 baht per day, if they can find the work, so 2,800 baht per day going by my rate per section of 700 baht, if he could churn them over, isn't enough for him...lol

 

Thanks again for your assistance, just makes me feel more comfortable, because I know he charged me 7,700 baht for laying 77 square metres of tiles, which was about 30 baht over the going rate which I didn't mind, but to make and install the fence sounds like he is wanting to have a good go, suffice to say, laying the tiles is more intense work.

 

I will offer him the work at 700 baht per 2.5 metre section, take it or leave it, i.e. 22,400 baht for both sides, including the digging of the fence posts, which he could comfortably complete the whole job in two weeks if he wanted to, even a month, that's still good money for a lackey.

You can calculate the price of your fence. I used evertonglass source. When I installed a pool fence I also consulted with balustrading service here. They suggested me to install aluminum fence 'cause of its durability.

Looking at the photo ..

 

Do you really want to weld it?  When we did these fences back home we anchored corner posts and used wire stretchers, then tied the chain-link to the posts with wire.  Otherwise it will probably sag.
