|---|---|---|---|
| Site and shutdown planning | 1 job | C$470.00 | C$470.00 |
| Protection and strip-out | 1 job | C$895.00 | C$895.00 |
| Fixture allowance | 1 set | C$2,405.00 | C$2,405.00 |
| Fixture installation labour | 1 job | C$1,610.00 | C$1,610.00 |
| Floor finish allowance | 115 sq. ft. | C$14.00 | C$1,610.00 |
| Floor and wall finishing | 1 job | C$1,650.00 | C$1,650.00 |

Check the arithmetic
- Fixture allowance: 1 set × C$2,405.00 = C$2,405.00.
- Floor finish allowance: 115 sq. ft. × C$14.00 = C$1,610.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$9,185.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$9,185.00 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: Count fixtures and partitions, measure floor and paintable wall surfaces and confirm access restrictions. Product decision: Keep fixture and finish allowances distinct from installation and closures.
The floor finish allowance line uses 115 sq. ft., approximately 10.68 m². Keep the actual site measurement and the supplier’s selling unit together when you replace this quantity.
Assumptions and exclusions
Plan shutdown and reopening around the building operator before removal.
Outside this example: No layout change, service upgrade or certified accessibility redesign.
Accessibility or service defects found during work require a revised scope. Inspect the existing substrate, access and product selections at the property. Check any local trade or municipal requirements that apply and record unresolved conditions before preparing the final client document. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
