Fencing

Fencing estimating by run, type and gate.

Fence quantities look simple until the site plan has six fence types, three heights and a dozen gates. RenderDraw proposes LF by type and height and gate counts from site plans and details.

Send one plan set. See what the AI extracts and what it flags for review. No obligation.

The quantities a sitework estimator actually needs

These are the items RenderDraw proposes from the drawings, each linked to the sheet it came from, for your estimator to accept, correct or reject.

How it works

From plan set to reviewed quantities.

AI-powered, human-approved. Each stage records what ran, what changed and who approved it.

Start with your bid package

Drawings, specs and addenda together: site, grading, paving and utility plans with profiles, typical sections and the civil spec or standard details.

AI proposes quantities

Counts, lengths and areas come back with the source sheet and location attached to every row.

Estimator review

Low-confidence items surface first. Your estimator accepts, corrects or rejects each one.

Map to your assemblies

Approved quantities map to your items, assemblies and estimating assumptions.

Price reviewed rows

Labor units, material pricing and supplier quotes apply only to rows that passed review.

Hand off with evidence

Approved quantities move on to pricing and visual CPQ with the evidence trail still attached.

Supported files and tasks depend on your trade and implementation. Confirm them in the free sample run.

Human review, by design

The AI drafts. Your estimator decides.

Speed is easy to promise. Defensible numbers are the job, so RenderDraw keeps the estimator in control of every quantity that gets priced.

  • Source on every row. Each quantity keeps its source sheet, location and reviewer decision.
  • Lowest confidence first. The review queue shows the drawing tile with the detection highlighted and the extracted value.
  • Uncertain items flagged, not hidden. Anything the AI can't confirm goes to the estimator rather than being guessed.
  • Nothing priced before approval. Rows move on to pricing only after they are accepted.

FAQ

Questions estimators ask

How do you estimate fencing?

LF by type and height, gates and terminals counted, line posts from spacing, plus footings and labor.

Can AI measure fences?

Yes, from site plans, for estimator review.

Does it handle gates?

Gates are counted by type and size.

What should we send?

Site plans, fence details and specs.

Start small

See what the AI reads on your own drawings.

Send one representative sitework plan set. RenderDraw reviews it and follows up with what the AI extracted and what it flagged for review. Your files remain private while the request is assessed, and there is no obligation.

  1. Upload site, grading, paving and utility plans with profiles, typical sections and the civil spec or standard details.
  2. RenderDraw reviews the set and the scope you want tested.
  3. We follow up with extracted quantities, flagged items and next steps.
