EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island concrete driveway repair example has 7 itemized costs and a C$2,870.40 total before tax or markup. The PDF, quantities, unit rates and scope assumptions match the table below.
Use this completed concrete driveway repair document to see how a specific job becomes a client-facing estimate. The project, business, customer and amounts are fictional. For the three localized driveway patches in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the example uses the measured trade units shown in its PDF. Residential jobs may mix square feet, linear feet, counts and supplier units; keep each line’s measurement basis visible. Check access, grades, drainage and seasonal site conditions. Confirm any property-line, utility, design or municipal requirements that apply before committing to the work. The figures are fictional CAD inputs, not a local price survey.
Project scope: Three localized driveway patches
Repair three nonstructural surface defects totaling 30 square feet on an accessible concrete driveway after site review. Include protection, limited removal, repair-material allowance, patch placement and finishing, joint touch-up and cleanup. No full slab replacement or structural stabilization.

Measure this work on the actual property before using any quantity. The illustration separates supplied products or materials from installation where the selection could change. A client should be able to compare each line with the agreed work, the selected products and the limits recorded in the notes.
The 7 itemized costs in Canadian dollars
Every row below is taken from the corresponding app-exported PDF fixture. Multiply the quantity by the unit rate to check the amount. These rates were chosen for this fictional example; they are not advertised prices or current averages for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condition review and layout | 1 job | C$255.00 | C$255.00 |
| Work-area protection | 1 job | C$150.00 | C$150.00 |
| Limited concrete removal | 30 sq. ft. | C$17.00 | C$510.00 |
| Repair material allowance | 1 job | C$455.00 | C$455.00 |
| Patch placement and finish labour | 30 sq. ft. | C$34.00 | C$1,020.00 |
| Joint touch-up allowance | 18 linear ft. | C$12.80 | C$230.40 |
| Debris and cleanup | 1 job | C$250.00 | C$250.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | C$2,870.40 | ||
Two calculation checks:
- Limited concrete removal: 30 sq. ft. × C$17.00 = C$510.00.
- Patch placement and finish labour: 30 sq. ft. × C$34.00 = C$1,020.00.
The PDF shows a 0% tax entry, so the illustrated tax is C$0.00 and the total remains C$2,870.40. This only describes the example. Confirm the applicable tax treatment and any markup for the real job before issuing your estimate.
Assumptions that change the price
Measure the three patch areas and record cracks, settlement or water evidence nearby. A 30-square-foot sum does not imply the entire driveway is being restored.
The sample assumes local nonstructural defects. Major movement, failed base or widespread deterioration requires a different repair plan.
Both tasks use the 30-square-foot repair area but have different labour lines. Identify the selected repair material and its installation requirements for the actual job.
Outside this example: No full-slab replacement, base repair, structural stabilization, colour-match guarantee or drainage redesign.
Check access, grades, drainage and seasonal site conditions. Confirm any property-line, utility, design or municipal requirements that apply before committing to the work. An allowance is a stated placeholder, not a promise to cover all work discovered later. If a selected product, quantity or hidden condition changes, update the affected line and explain the revision before proceeding.

Use the structure for a real job
- Replace Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and the example scope with the actual site and customer details.
- Measure the work and confirm the product schedule with the client.
- Replace every fictional CAD rate with your own labour, supplier and subcontractor inputs.
- Check exclusions, approvals, tax, markup and the document’s validity period for the real project.
- Preview the final PDF and recheck the total before sharing.
- Measure and photograph each patch.
- Review slab movement and base condition.
- Select repair material and finish.
- State appearance and curing assumptions.
Common questions
Can a patch fix a settled driveway?
Settlement needs its cause and repair approach assessed separately. This sample is for defined local surface defects.
Will a patch match old concrete?
A visual match should not be assumed. Describe the chosen finish and its likely difference from aged material.
