Check the arithmetic
- Existing vanity removal: 1 each × C$205.00 = C$205.00.
- Vanity and top allowance: 1 each × C$965.00 = C$965.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$2,405.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$2,405.00 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 cabinet width, depth, pipe entry points and floor clearance rather than relying on the old unit label. Product decision: Separate the cabinet and top allowance from faucet fittings, connection parts and installation labour.
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 product delivery and shutoff access before removing the existing unit.
Outside this example: No plumbing relocation, new floor covering or concealed water-damage repair.
Unexpected pipe position or damaged wall behind the cabinet requires a revised connection or finish line. Verify the existing water, waste and fixture connections on site. Confirm who handles any required trade work, approvals and inspections for this address; this fictional document does not decide them. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
