Check the arithmetic
- Old closer removal: 3 each × C$105.00 = C$315.00.
- Closer unit allowance: 3 each × C$360.00 = C$1,080.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$3,556.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$3,556.00 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: Record door rating documentation, leaf size, mounting pattern and hold-open features. Product decision: Identify closer model and mounting plates separately from adjustment 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
Check current door condition and local requirements with a qualified installer before removal.
Outside this example: No door leaf replacement, fire certification or access-control rewiring.
A warped leaf or damaged frame prevents a simple closer-only fix. 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.
