Check the arithmetic
- Location and supply check: 1 job × C$225.00 = C$225.00.
- Fan product allowance: 1 each × C$305.00 = C$305.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$2,025.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$2,025.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Measure fan location, duct run, termination point and available electrical supply. Product decision: Separate fan, duct and exterior terminal allowances.
Count the actual units, site visits and selected products separately. A count in this example is a document input, not a substitute for inspecting the real property.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm safe electrical connection and a clear termination route before cutting.
Outside this example: No whole-room ventilation design, mould remediation or electrical panel work.
A blocked cavity or no suitable exterior path requires a redesigned duct. Have the actual supply route, mounting and testing reviewed by the qualified person doing the work. Confirm any approval or inspection requirements for the project address before issuing a final price. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
