Include door allowance, removal, installation, weatherstrip and threshold allowance, hardware fitting, interior finishing trim touch-up allowance and disposal.

Read every amount in pounds
The table reproduces the fixture sent to the app exporter. Each amount is its quantity multiplied by the shown unit rate, rounded to pence. The largest line is Pre-hung entry door allowance at £840.00; that is a part of the total, not a standard price for work of this kind. Check the unit, quantity and scope together before comparing lines with a real supplier or subcontractor quote.

The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
The sample assumes suitable framing and adjacent finishes. Hidden deterioration or enlargement requires a separate inspected scope before proceeding.
Work outside the example: No opening enlargement, structural repair, cladding replacement, full repainting or specialty security system integration.
The quantity basis matters. Where a product allowance differs from an installation quantity, the difference reflects this fictional layout or purchase plan and must be checked against the selected product. Existing conditions, safe access and any necessary approvals remain project decisions. Agree how changed measurements or discoveries will be recorded and priced before extra work begins.

Common questions
Is an exterior door the same scope as an interior door?
No. Threshold and weather closure details need explicit consideration along with the selected assembly and opening.
Does the price include painting?
Only where stated. This example has a finishing trim touch-up allowance but no complete door or wall repaint.
