EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Edinburgh commercial washroom refresh project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £5,677.29 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 Edinburgh and concerns one small shared washroom. Refresh one small commercial washroom in the existing layout with selected fixtures, floor finish and wall painting, retaining suitable services. 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 commercial washroom refresh example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Fixture allowance at £1,480.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site and shutdown planning | 1 lump sum | £288.00 | £288.00 |
| Protection and strip-out | 1 lump sum | £552.00 | £552.00 |
| Fixture allowance | 1 set | £1,480.00 | £1,480.00 |
| Fixture installation labour | 1 lump sum | £992.00 | £992.00 |
| Floor finish allowance | 10.7 sq m | £94.70 | £1,013.29 |
| Floor and wall finishing | 1 lump sum | £1,016.00 | £1,016.00 |
| Waste and reopening check | 1 lump sum | £336.00 | £336.00 |
| Illustrative total | £5,677.29 | ||
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
Floor finish allowance is 10.7 sq m × £94.70 = £1,013.29. Protection and strip-out is 1 lump sum × £552.00 = £552.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £5,677.29. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Count fixtures and partitions, measure floor and paintable wall surfaces and confirm access restrictions. Selection to check: Keep fixture and finish allowances distinct from installation and closures. 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
Plan shutdown and reopening around the building operator before removal.
Outside this stated scope: No layout change, service upgrade or certified accessibility redesign.
Accessibility or service defects found during work require a revised scope. 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.
