What is actually in an electric gate quote?
Any gate automation quote should be broken into four lines: motors and controls, safety equipment, groundwork and power, and commissioning with a force test. A quote that just says "supply and fit" with a single number is hiding the comparison you need: motor brand and model, safety provision, cable run and warranty should all be written down.

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.
