Check the arithmetic
- Upper cabinet allowance: 3 each × C$335.00 = C$1,005.00.
- Cabinet hanging hardware: 1 set × C$145.00 = C$145.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$3,340.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$3,340.00 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 appliance clearances, wall studs, door swing and usable counter length. Product decision: Separate cabinet, surface and fixing allowances from installation labour.
The folding surface allowance line uses 6 linear ft., approximately 1.83 m. Check the route, cuts and supplier unit before setting a real quantity.
