Long-term construction site fencing at Hobsonville
A temporary fence on a live construction programme is not a one-off delivery. The perimeter has to support access, separation and site changes for as long as the job runs.
At a large commercial construction project in Hobsonville, Premier supplied more than one kilometre of temporary fencing over a two-year hire. The site setup moved with the programme as areas opened, access changed and work fronts shifted.
Starting with the working perimeter
The first layout has to deal with more than a property boundary. Before installation, the useful questions are where deliveries enter and turn, what needs to be separated from workers or the public, which routes are likely to change, and whether any areas need extra bracing or screening.
Getting that practical detail right at the start makes the first site change much easier. A site plan helps, but current photos and a conversation about access are often enough to establish a workable starting point.
Fencing for a programme that moves
Long construction projects rarely remain exactly as drawn on day one. New work fronts open, access moves, completed areas are handed over and different parts of the site need to be isolated at different times.
At Hobsonville, the fencing was not a static installation. Sections were adjusted across the two-year hire to suit the evolving programme. That is why a long-term fencing hire is best treated as an ongoing site service, rather than simply a panel count at the beginning of the job.
Planning access without slowing the job down
Access affects day-to-day flow as much as site security. Trucks, machinery, subcontractors and deliveries all need a clear route, while the perimeter still needs to keep work areas defined.
For an initial layout, we look at the site address, rough linear metres, preferred install date and likely traffic movements. If access or boundaries change during the hire, the layout can be adjusted against what is actually happening on site.

What to send for a long-term fencing quote
Send the site address, approximate linear metres, required install date and expected hire period. Let us know about access, screening, bracing and any anticipated site changes. Plans and current site photos are useful where the layout is more involved.
