EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Cambridge accessible entry ramp installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £7,914.74 total. The app-exported PDF, first-page preview, measurement basis, scope boundaries and matching UK estimating guide let you inspect every quantity and rate.
What this example covers
This fictional job is set in Cambridge and concerns one short private entry ramp. Build a short ramp at a private entry to a site-reviewed design with non-slip surface, edge protection and handrail allowance. The estimate is a bounded document: the customer should be able to compare the described work with its measured lines, product allowances and exclusions. The matching UK guide explains how to prepare those inputs.

Itemised accessible entry ramp installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Ramp construction labour at £2,676.21; this is one fictional component, not a typical price. Read each quantity with its unit: area, length, time, count and lump sum describe different work and must not be interchanged.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry survey and design allowance | 1 lump sum | £392.00 | £392.00 |
| Site preparation | 1 lump sum | £312.00 | £312.00 |
| Frame or base material allowance | 1 lump sum | £1,160.00 | £1,160.00 |
| Ramp construction labour | 11.1 sq m | £241.10 | £2,676.21 |
| Non-slip surface allowance | 12.1 sq m | £103.30 | £1,249.93 |
| Handrail and edge allowance | 11 metres | £170.60 | £1,876.60 |
| Level check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £248.00 | £248.00 |
| Illustrative total | £7,914.74 | ||
The table separates the named product or material allowances from labour and site tasks wherever the scope needs that distinction. Before replacing a rate, check whether the product allowance includes delivery, waste, fixings and the selected specification.
How the total is calculated
Ramp construction labour is 11.1 sq m × £241.10 = £2,676.21. Non-slip surface allowance is 12.1 sq m × £103.30 = £1,249.93. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £7,914.74. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Survey rise, available run, landings, door swing and drainage; slope must follow locally applicable design. Selection to check: Separate structural material, surface and rail allowances. The 0% tax field and zero markup are example document inputs, not an instruction for a live quote. Decide the correct settings for your own business and job.
Assumptions and exclusions
Obtain the required design and permissions before construction; check levels at each stage.
Outside this stated scope: No accessibility certification, public footpath work or structural foundation redesign.
Insufficient available run or weak landing support changes the design. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, explicit revised allowance or separately agreed task. Keep the customer informed of which figure changed and why before producing another PDF.
