EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE

This fictional Dartmouth, Nova Scotia interior demolition example has 6 itemized costs and a C$2,354.00 total before tax or markup. The PDF, quantities, unit rates and scope assumptions match the table below.

Use this completed interior demolition document to see how a specific job becomes a client-facing estimate. The project, business, customer and amounts are fictional. For the nonstructural finish removal in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, 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. Confirm site access, product selections and existing conditions in person. Check any trade or municipal requirements for the actual location, and record changes before issuing a final price. The figures are fictional CAD inputs, not a local price survey.

Project scope: Nonstructural finish removal

Remove 300 square feet of floor finish, 200 square feet of wall board and 12 linear feet of cabinets in a cleared work area. Include protection, a scoped debris-handling allowance and cleanup. No structural or service-system work.

Example location Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Issued / valid through September 25 / October 25, 2026

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 6 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 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Interior demolition example · CAD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Work-area protection and setup | 1 job | C$350.00 | C$350.00 |

Floor finish removal | 300 sq. ft. | C$1.60 | C$480.00 |

Specified wall-board removal | 200 sq. ft. | C$1.90 | C$380.00 |

Cabinet removal | 12 linear ft. | C$32.00 | C$384.00 |

Debris handling and disposal allowance | 1 job | C$570.00 | C$570.00 |

Final work-area cleanup | 1 job | C$190.00 | C$190.00 |

Subtotal / example total | C$2,354.00 |

Two calculation checks:

- Floor finish removal: 300 sq. ft. × C$1.60 = C$480.00.
- Specified wall-board removal: 200 sq. ft. × C$1.90 = C$380.00.

The PDF shows a 0% tax entry, so the illustrated tax is C$0.00 and the total remains C$2,354.00. 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

List surfaces and components by location and quantity. Mark retained cabinets, walls, fixtures and finishes. Clear boundaries help prevent a removal estimate from being mistaken for authorization to strip an entire room.

Identify any assessment, service isolation or material testing required for the actual job. Do not assume concealed conditions are safe or included. This example prices defined finish removal only and is not a procedure for carrying out demolition.

Debris must be moved through the property, loaded and disposed of. Record the access path, stairs and storage constraints. The sample includes a disposal allowance, but actual fees and arrangements should come from the relevant provider for the material involved.

Outside this example: No structural demolition, utility disconnection, hazardous-material abatement, concealed-condition repairs or reconstruction.

Confirm site access, product selections and existing conditions in person. Check any trade or municipal requirements for the actual location, and record changes before issuing a final price. 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 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia 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.

- Identify retained and removed components.
- Confirm prerequisite assessments and service arrangements.
- Record debris access and disposal assumptions.
- Define cleanup and reconstruction boundaries.

Common questions

Does a demolition estimate include rebuilding?

Not unless rebuilding is explicitly listed. Separate removal, cleanup and reconstruction so the customer understands the condition left at the end of each scope.

Why show debris handling separately?

Removal effort and disposal arrangements can change independently. A defined handling line makes access constraints and provider charges easier to review.
