EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Bristol engineered wood floor installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £8,776.08 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 Bristol and concerns two adjoining rooms. Install selected engineered timber flooring over a suitable prepared subfloor in two rooms, with underlay, transitions and perimeter trim. 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 engineered wood floor installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Board material allowance at £3,810.96; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room measure and floor check | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 |
| Subfloor preparation | 57.6 sq m | £17.20 | £990.72 |
| Board material allowance | 63.2 sq m | £60.30 | £3,810.96 |
| Underlay allowance | 57.6 sq m | £8.60 | £495.36 |
| Board fitting labour | 57.6 sq m | £51.65 | £2,975.04 |
| Transition profiles | 3 each | £44.00 | £132.00 |
| Perimeter trim and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £256.00 | £256.00 |
| Illustrative total | £8,776.08 | ||
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
Subfloor preparation is 57.6 sq m × £17.20 = £990.72. Board material allowance is 63.2 sq m × £60.30 = £3,810.96. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £8,776.08. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Measure each room and board direction, then distinguish installed area from purchased cartons and cutting allowance. Selection to check: List boards, underlay and transition profiles separately so grade and finish choices are visible. 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
Confirm subfloor moisture, acclimation instructions and doorway levels before fitting.
Outside this stated scope: No subfloor reconstruction, stair treads or built-in furniture removal.
An unsuitable subfloor or late pattern change alters preparation and material takeoff. 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.
