Fence work is priced in linear feet and lost in the details. This workbook builds a bid from post count, panel type, and labor hours, then tracks the job from measure to install to punch list. The material takeoff tab handles concrete bags, hardware, and staining. The seasonal revenue P&L shows which quarter actually pays the bills.
