Project scope: One interior doorway

Install one pocket sliding door kit within a defined non-load-bearing interior partition, with track, door leaf and finish trim.

The matching guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-ca/guides/how-to-estimate-pocket-door-installation/) 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 Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Pocket sliding door installation example · CAD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Opening and service survey | 1 job | C$305.00 | C$305.00 |

Partition opening | 1 job | C$690.00 | C$690.00 |

Pocket frame allowance | 1 each | C$900.00 | C$900.00 |

Door and hardware allowance | 1 set | C$1,005.00 | C$1,005.00 |

Frame and track fitting | 1 job | C$1,035.00 | C$1,035.00 |

Wall board and trim closure | 1 job | C$850.00 | C$850.00 |

Adjustment and cleanup | 1 job | C$240.00 | C$240.00 |

Illustrative subtotal | C$5,025.00 |

Check the arithmetic

- Pocket frame allowance: 1 each × C$900.00 = C$900.00.
- Door and hardware allowance: 1 set × C$1,005.00 = C$1,005.00.

The rounded line amounts add to C$5,025.00 . The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$5,025.00 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 opening, wall thickness, travel space and hidden service routes. Product decision: Identify pocket frame, door leaf and hardware separately.

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

Confirm wall construction and services before opening the partition.

Outside this example: No structural wall alteration, electrical relocation or whole-room repainting.

Load-bearing framing or pipes inside the pocket zone require redesign. 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.
