Glossary

Short definitions of the QuoteCore+ terms and fencing measurement types you will see in the app.

Fencing measurement types

Lineal. The primary fence measurement. A single continuous run measured in metres - palings, panels, rails, chain-link.

Multiple Fence Runs (multi_lineal). Several fence runs added together as one component line. Useful when the same fence wraps around a property in several directions.

Panel Length × Height (multi_lineal_lxh). Several panel runs measured plan-view as lengths with a shared height. Used for clad/sheet panel systems where panel height varies by job.

Panel Height × Length (length_x_height). A single panel section measured length × height.

Area. Sheet panel area, mesh area for tennis courts or pool enclosures, or general enclosed regions where the material is priced per m².

Irregular Area. Non-rectangular mesh or sheet runs around odd-shaped boundaries.

Curved Fence Run (curved_line). A curved section measured along its curve - driveway radius, garden boundary.

Count. Individual items - posts, gates, latches, hinges, fittings, drop bolts.

Fixed. A flat amount that doesn't scale with measurement - old fence removal, dump fees, site allowances.

Hours / Days. Labor billed by time rather than by quantity installed.

QuoteCore+ terms

Actual measurement. The real-world measurement after waste has been applied to the plan measurement.

Component. A reusable fencing item with its own price, pack size, labor rate, and waste settings.

Customer quote. The polished, customer-facing version of the quote. For fencing work the default label is Fencing Works.

Digital takeoff. Tracing measurements directly on an uploaded site plan or boundary drawing.

Extra. A non-core component bucket for call-outs, removal allowances, hidden items, or anything outside the main scope.

Manual quote. A quote built by typing measurements straight into the quote builder, without a digital takeoff.

Plan measurement. The raw measurement taken from the plan, before waste is applied.

Quote builder. The screen where you assemble areas, components, prices, and notes into the final quote.

Takeoff. The list of measurements that drives the quote - whether digital or manual.

Billing terms

Cap. A numeric limit on something your plan allows - quotes per month, components total, storage bytes, etc. Hitting a cap blocks new additions but never deletes existing data. See Tier limits.

Dunning. The process Stripe (and we) follow when a renewal payment fails: automatic card retries, status escalation through past_due - grace - suspended, with chances to recover by updating the card. See Billing.

Effective plan. What your account can actually use today. Usually the same as your purchased plan, but collapses to Starter during grace periods or after the trial ends.

Grace period. A 10-day window after a payment failure where you keep read access but can't create new quotes. See Billing.

Trial. A 14-day free taste of every feature, with tiny caps. One per account, ever. See Free trial.
