Project scope: One small dwelling ventilation unit

Install a selected heat-recovery ventilation unit with defined supply and extract points in an accessible area, subject to system design.

The fictional project is set in Kelowna, British Columbia. Cedar & Beam Builders and Jordan Taylor are example names, not a contractor and client case study. The matching guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-ca/guides/how-to-estimate-heat-recovery-ventilation/) explains how measurement, product selection and site conditions affect the estimate.

The 7 CAD cost lines

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 Kelowna, British Columbia.

Heat recovery ventilation installation example · CAD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Ventilation design allowance | 1 job | C$845.00 | C$845.00 |

HRV unit allowance | 1 each | C$3,380.00 | C$3,380.00 |

Duct and insulation allowance | 180 linear ft. | C$23.00 | C$4,140.00 |

Supply and extract terminals | 6 each | C$175.00 | C$1,050.00 |

Duct installation labour | 30 hours | C$125.00 | C$3,750.00 |

Power and control allowance | 1 job | C$935.00 | C$935.00 |

Airflow balance and handoff | 1 job | C$730.00 | C$730.00 |

Illustrative subtotal | C$14,830.00 |

Check the arithmetic

- HRV unit allowance: 1 each × C$3,380.00 = C$3,380.00.
- Duct and insulation allowance: 180 linear ft. × C$23.00 = C$4,140.00.

The rounded line amounts add to C$14,830.00 . The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$14,830.00 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 terminals, measure duct routes and available plant space, and record condensate and power needs. Product decision: Separate unit, duct, terminals and controls from commissioning.

The duct and insulation allowance line uses 180 linear ft., approximately 54.86 m. Check the route, cuts and supplier unit before setting a real quantity.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm airflow design and duct routes before cutting openings.

Outside this example: No whole-house retrofit, structural openings or unreviewed regulatory certification.

Concealed route conflicts or inadequate plant space change layout and labour. 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.
