A friend is getting quotes to replace a fence. The fence is 20 metres long.

He has initially specified lapped boards and wooden posts (concrete posts
another option).

The fence needs a gate about half way along.

The old fence needs removing.

He has been quoted 3 men for 2 days and a total cost of around £3,500.

Does this seem reasonable?

Find out the cost of the panels etc. Then see if the labour costs seem
reasonable. It only needs one (semi) skilled person - the others
labourers. And can't see why it needs three people.
