What is actually in an electric gate quote?
Four things make up an automation quote: motors and panel, safety kit, groundwork and power, and a force-tested handover. Because groundwork and access explain most of the spread between quotes, insist that everything is on paper before anyone orders anything.

The extras that move quotes
Power at the gate is the big one: a long armoured cable run, or solar and battery where digging is impractical, changes the number. Leaf weight matters too: heavy timber leaves need bigger motors. Intercom upgrades (audio to video to GSM), keypad or fob access, and app control all add, and exposed plots justify corrosion-resistant hardware.
