EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional York garden masonry wall rebuild project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £4,663.94 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 York and concerns one damaged boundary-wall section. Take down and rebuild a short damaged garden masonry wall section on a suitable existing foundation, with matching units and coping 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 garden masonry wall rebuild example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Wall rebuilding labour at £1,653.36; 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 survey and protection | 1 lump sum | £168.00 | £168.00 |
| Careful wall dismantling | 6 sq m | £120.56 | £723.36 |
| Waste handling | 1 lump sum | £224.00 | £224.00 |
| Matching units allowance | 6.5 sq m | £223.88 | £1,455.22 |
| Mortar and tie allowance | 1 lump sum | £192.00 | £192.00 |
| Wall rebuilding labour | 6 sq m | £275.56 | £1,653.36 |
| Coping and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £248.00 | £248.00 |
| Illustrative total | £4,663.94 | ||
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
Careful wall dismantling is 6 sq m × £120.56 = £723.36. Matching units allowance is 6.5 sq m × £223.88 = £1,455.22. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £4,663.94. 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 wall length, height, thickness and salvageable units; inspect the existing footing. Selection to check: Identify new matching units, mortar and coping as product 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
Record protection of neighbouring property and sequence careful dismantling before rebuilding.
Outside this stated scope: No new footing, structural design or work on uninspected adjacent wall.
A failed footing or unstable adjoining wall changes the construction 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.
