A consulting company hired by Best Builders has just completed a study to determine the best fencing for a condominium complex Best Builders will construct. The technical writer preparing a recommendation report based on the feasibility study has compiled the following information to be used in the report:a. Because the complex will be located in an environmentally sensitive area, the fence must visually enhance the property while blending in with its surroundings, yet at the same time adding a measure of safety. In order to keep monthly condominium dues as low as possible, the fence must not require a high degree of maintenance. Its minimum life should be 25 years, and it should cost under $70,000.
b. The options researched were stone, vinyl, vinyl-coated iron, and wood.
c. Both types of vinyl fencing will last up to 25 years, stone up to 50 years, and wood up to 15 years. Wood fencing must be painted or stained periodically. Maintenance for vinyl and stone fencing consists of occasionally washing with water. Based on two bids for each type of fencing, all types fall within the maximum amount allowed. Wood was cheapest, followed closely by vinyl. Stone and vinyl-coated iron, respectively, were the most expensive.
d. We think the best course of action is to have a stone wall built by Masonry Builders, Inc., to enclose the new condominium complex.
