EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Regina, Saskatchewan shower door installation example has 7 itemized costs and a C$2,102.00 total before tax or markup. The PDF, quantities, unit rates and scope assumptions match the table below.
Use this completed shower door installation document to see how a specific job becomes a client-facing estimate. The project, business, customer and amounts are fictional. For the one framed shower door replacement in Regina, Saskatchewan, the example uses the measured trade units shown in its PDF. Residential jobs may mix square feet, linear feet, counts and supplier units; keep each line’s measurement basis visible. Confirm site access, product selections and existing conditions in person. Check any trade or municipal requirements for the actual location, and record changes before issuing a final price. The figures are fictional CAD inputs, not a local price survey.
Project scope: One framed shower door replacement
Replace one framed shower door on an existing suitable enclosure. Include measured product allowance, removal, installation, sealant, function check and old-door disposal. Tile repair, enclosure rebuilding and plumbing are excluded.

Measure this work on the actual property before using any quantity. The illustration separates supplied products or materials from installation where the selection could change. A client should be able to compare each line with the agreed work, the selected products and the limits recorded in the notes.
The 7 itemized costs in Canadian dollars
Every row below is taken from the corresponding app-exported PDF fixture. Multiply the quantity by the unit rate to check the amount. These rates were chosen for this fictional example; they are not advertised prices or current averages for Regina, Saskatchewan.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening measurement and product check | 1 job | C$126.00 | C$126.00 |
| Existing door removal | 1 each | C$180.00 | C$180.00 |
| Framed door product allowance | 1 each | C$905.00 | C$905.00 |
| Mounting hardware allowance | 1 job | C$126.00 | C$126.00 |
| Door installation labour | 1 each | C$500.00 | C$500.00 |
| Perimeter sealant and finish | 1 job | C$120.00 | C$120.00 |
| Disposal and cleanup | 1 job | C$145.00 | C$145.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | C$2,102.00 | ||
Two calculation checks:
- Existing door removal: 1 each × C$180.00 = C$180.00.
- Framed door product allowance: 1 each × C$905.00 = C$905.00.
The PDF shows a 0% tax entry, so the illustrated tax is C$0.00 and the total remains C$2,102.00. This only describes the example. Confirm the applicable tax treatment and any markup for the real job before issuing your estimate.
Assumptions that change the price
Record width and height at the positions required for the selected product, plus swing clearance. A nominal shower size does not establish the actual door size.
The example assumes sound, suitable enclosure surfaces. Loose tile or hidden deterioration can change the mounting approach and must be resolved before the base scope is treated as complete.
Framed, semi-frameless and other products have different components. Replace the product allowance with the selected unit and supplier information before ordering.
Outside this example: No tile replacement, enclosure rebuild, plumbing work, concealed damage repair or new shower-pan work.
Confirm site access, product selections and existing conditions in person. Check any trade or municipal requirements for the actual location, and record changes before issuing a final price. An allowance is a stated placeholder, not a promise to cover all work discovered later. If a selected product, quantity or hidden condition changes, update the affected line and explain the revision before proceeding.

Common questions
Why is an opening measurement line useful?
It makes the product-ordering basis visible and allows an estimate to distinguish a measured replacement from a guessed nominal size.
Does installation include tile repair?
Only when listed. Existing tile condition should be inspected and any repair agreed separately.
