EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Liverpool kitchen cabinet hardware installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £1,030.40 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 Liverpool and concerns twenty-four cabinet fronts. Fit new pulls and knobs to 24 sound cabinet doors and drawers, with a repeatable hole layout and protection of existing finishes. 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 kitchen cabinet hardware installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Pull and knob allowance at £345.60; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layout survey and protection | 1 lump sum | £96.00 | £96.00 |
| Old hardware removal | 24 each | £4.00 | £96.00 |
| Pull and knob allowance | 24 each | £14.40 | £345.60 |
| Drilling template and first fit | 1 lump sum | £76.00 | £76.00 |
| Hardware fitting labour | 24 each | £11.20 | £268.80 |
| Hole repair allowance | 1 lump sum | £88.00 | £88.00 |
| Final adjustment and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £60.00 | £60.00 |
| Illustrative total | £1,030.40 | ||
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
Old hardware removal is 24 each × £4.00 = £96.00. Pull and knob allowance is 24 each × £14.40 = £345.60. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £1,030.40. 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 door and drawer fronts separately and confirm centre spacing and existing holes. Selection to check: List the selected hardware and any backing plates or hole repairs as explicit 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
Test a marked template on one front and obtain approval before drilling the rest.
Outside this stated scope: No cabinet refacing, door replacement or refinishing of damaged fronts.
Old holes in the wrong position may need repair or different hardware. 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.
