Hiring a fencing contractor in Brisbane: what to check

Licence check. In Queensland, building work valued at more than $3,300 including GST (labour and materials) generally needs a QBCC licence, and some types of work need a licence at any value. Check the licence and its class on the QBCC online licence search.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs, and don’t pay a big deposit up front.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Colorbond and steel fencing
  • Timber paling fences
  • Pool fencing (glass and aluminium)
  • Front fences and gates
  • Retaining and plinth boards
  • Fence repairs and replacements

What affects the cost of a fencing contractor in Brisbane?

Every job is different, so prices vary. These are the main things that change what you’ll pay — use them to compare quotes like for like:

  • Length in metres and fence height.
  • Material: Colorbond, timber, glass, aluminium or masonry.
  • Slope and ground conditions, including rock.
  • Removal of the old fence (and any asbestos fencing).
  • Gates, automation and hardware.
  • Whether a neighbour is sharing the cost.

Ask two or three local fencing businesses for written, itemised quotes. A site visit usually gives a more accurate price than a phone estimate.

Local tips for Brisbane

  • Compare two or three written quotes and ask what is and isn’t included.
  • Lodge a free Before You Dig Australia request before post holes are dug. Pool fences must meet Australian Standard AS 1926.1 and your state’s pool safety rules.
  • Dividing fences in Queensland are covered by the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011. Talk to your neighbour and agree in writing before work starts.

About Brisbane

Brisbane has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and a storm season that can bring hail, strong winds and heavy rain. Many suburbs have timber Queenslander homes on stumps alongside newer brick houses and riverside apartments, and some low-lying areas are flood-affected.

Fencing Contractors in Brisbane: FAQs

Do fencing contractors need a licence in QLD?

In Queensland, building work valued at more than $3,300 including GST (labour and materials) generally needs a QBCC licence, and some types of work need a licence at any value. Check the licence and its class on the QBCC online licence search.

Does my neighbour have to share the cost of a dividing fence?

Usually, yes: each state and territory has dividing fence laws that generally require neighbours to share the cost of a standard fence. Give your neighbour written notice and agree on the fence before work starts.

What if my old fence is asbestos?

Older “fibro” fences may contain asbestos. Don’t cut, drill or break it; removing more than 10 m² requires a licensed asbestos removalist, and many fencing businesses can arrange this.

Does a fencing contractor need a licence?

Fencing can fall under state building licence rules above a set job value, and pool fencing has its own compliance rules. Ask for the licence number with your quote.
