The table uses the exact items, quantities and unit rates in the app-exported PDF. Multiply each quantity by its rate to check the amount. These chosen figures demonstrate the document; they are not surveyed prices or suggested rates for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Exterior trim painting example · CAD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Access and protection | 1 job | C$285.00 | C$285.00 |

Trim wash and scrape | 210 linear ft. | C$3.90 | C$819.00 |

Minor sealant work | 80 linear ft. | C$2.60 | C$208.00 |

Primer allowance | 1 job | C$215.00 | C$215.00 |

Finish coating allowance | 1 job | C$300.00 | C$300.00 |

Two-coat trim application | 210 linear ft. | C$6.50 | C$1,365.00 |

Clean-up and touch-up | 1 job | C$180.00 | C$180.00 |

Illustrative subtotal | C$3,372.00 |

Check the arithmetic

- Trim wash and scrape: 210 linear ft. × C$3.90 = C$819.00.
- Minor sealant work: 80 linear ft. × C$2.60 = C$208.00.

The rounded line amounts add to C$3,372.00 . The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$3,372.00 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 linear trim runs and count doors and window frames separately where profiles differ. Product decision: Select the coating and confirm whether bare-wood primer and sealant are included.

The trim wash and scrape line uses 210 linear ft., approximately 64.01 m. Check the route, cuts and supplier unit before setting a real quantity.

Assumptions and exclusions

Record ladder access and dry-weather sequencing before promising the work period.

Outside this example: No siding coating, multi-storey access or timber replacement.

Rotten timber or failed glazing compound is separate carpentry or repair work. Review access, grades, drainage and seasonal conditions at the property. Check utility locations, product availability and any local design or municipal requirements that apply to the real scope. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
