Every fence scope — pre-built, pre-priced, ready to bid
ScopeTakeoff’s fence estimating programs include assembly libraries for every major fence scope. The fastest fence takeoff software for subcontractors — enter your linear footage and gate count once and get a fully loaded estimate with material, posts, footings, hardware, and labor included.
Chain Link Fence
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link by height (4’–12′) and gauge. Fabric, top rail, tension wire, line and terminal posts, and hardware calculated automatically from linear footage.
Ornamental Steel & Aluminum
Pre-fab ornamental panels by height and style — commercial, industrial, and decorative. Panels, posts, brackets, and footings calculated per LF, with rackable and welded options.
Security & Anti-Climb Fence
Welded mesh, anti-climb, and high-security fence for critical infrastructure and industrial sites. Barbed and razor top, deeper footings, and reinforced posts handled as part of the assembly.
Wood & Vinyl Fence
Privacy, picket, post-and-rail, and shadowbox in wood and vinyl. Pickets, rails, posts, caps, and concrete calculated per LF — with style and height selection driving material counts.
Gates & Operators
Swing, slide, and cantilever gates by width, plus operators, access control, and hardware. Where estimates get missed — gates are priced as their own line items, not buried in fence runs.
Posts, Footings & Hardware
Post spacing drives line, corner, end, and gate post counts automatically. Footing concrete by post size and depth, caps, bands, and hardware — all calculated from linear footage, never by hand.
From plan set to fence bid in minutes
ScopeTakeoff is fence quoting software built around how fence contractors actually work — not how enterprise software engineers think they should. Go from PDF site plans to a submitted fence estimate faster than any other tool.
Upload your plans
Drag in your PDF site and civil sheets. Measure fence runs and locate gates directly on the page — no switching tools.
Select your assemblies
Pick from pre-built fence assemblies — chain link, ornamental, security, gates. Enter linear footage and gate count and let ScopeTakeoff calculate the rest.
Adjust your pricing
Override any unit cost to match your market, crew rates, or current material pricing. All changes update the total in real time.
Export SOV & proposal
One click generates a formatted Schedule of Values and client-facing proposal ready to submit to the GC. No reformatting required.
The best fence contractor software for every fence sub
Whether you’re a solo fence estimator or running a team bidding commercial site work across multiple states, ScopeTakeoff is the fence contractor software that scales to fit.
Commercial Fence Subcontractors
Bidding site work for national GCs on retail, industrial, and distribution projects? ScopeTakeoff handles large fence scopes with SOV output formatted for GC submission. Multi-entity profiles for contractors licensed in multiple states.
Security & Specialty Fence
Anti-climb, welded mesh, and high-security fence for critical infrastructure, utilities, and industrial sites. Estimate reinforced posts, deeper footings, and barbed or razor top as part of the assembly — not afterthoughts.
Gate & Access Contractors
Swing, slide, and cantilever gates with operators and access control. Break out material, labor, and equipment separately for accurate cost control on the highest-margin part of the job.

What fence subs say about ScopeTakeoff
“As a commercial and government estimator, I live in SOVs and bid forms — and ScopeTakeoff is the first fence tool that outputs a Schedule of Values I can submit straight to the GC. We’ve won around $5M in commercial work running our bids through it.”
“Most fence software is built for backyard sales. We bid commercial, and ScopeTakeoff actually fits how we estimate — chain link, ornamental, gates, all with a clean SOV. It’s helped us land about $2M in commercial jobs.”
