Run-Based Estimation SaaS · Pearl Ventures Product

FenceEstimatePro

Stop guessing quantities. Start winning jobs.

A run-based fence estimation engine for contractors who need faster quantity, margin, and quote decisions. FenceGraph models the fence run by run, estimates post and material requirements, and keeps margin visible before the customer ever sees a quote.

// Problem

Most fence contractors price jobs from a spreadsheet, a calculator, and memory. The result: under-ordered concrete, wrong post counts, panels that don't fit the run, and a margin that looked good on paper but vanished at install. They win the bid and lose money — or they pad the quote and lose the bid to someone faster. Either way, the owner eats the cost.

Manual estimate workflows can take too long and still miss edge cases. Quantity math is brittle — a corner changes post logic, a slope changes concrete assumptions, and a gate changes hardware. Once the margin is locked into the bid and the customer signs, there's no going back.

// System Built

FenceEstimatePro replaces spreadsheet-first estimating with a run-based estimator. The FenceGraph engine walks each run and derives post, material, and labor assumptions from the geometry. Set your target margin; the engine prices materials and labor, then shows margin before the customer ever sees a number.

  • Run-based fence estimating with linear, corner, and gate segments
  • FenceGraph engine — estimates posts, concrete, and panels from run geometry
  • Margin lock before quote — target % set, engine prices materials and labor
  • Materials catalog with supplier pricing and CSV import for bulk updates
  • Branded customer portal with digital signatures and contract PDF storage
  • Jobs pipeline — Kanban from estimate to install with foreman assignment
  • Role-based access: Owner / Sales / Foreman — financial data gated to Owner
  • PDF quotes + contracts generated on demand and stored automatically

Built on Supabase with row-level security, Stripe subscription billing, and Vercel deployments. Every quote generates a branded PDF. Every contract signs digitally and stores automatically.

// Outcome

Shipped to production as a working construction-tech SaaS. The system turns run geometry into quote-ready material, labor, contract, and payment flows while keeping margin visible before the customer receives the quote.
