EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Southampton office partition installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £13,129.99 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 Southampton and concerns two non-load-bearing office partitions. Build two non-load-bearing office partitions in an accessible suite, with selected glazing or door openings recorded separately. 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 office partition installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Partition assembly labour at £5,753.81; 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 and building review | 1 lump sum | £312.00 | £312.00 |
| Site protection | 1 lump sum | £192.00 | £192.00 |
| Framing allowance | 20.7 metres | £110.20 | £2,281.14 |
| Board and acoustic fill allowance | 57.6 sq m | £51.65 | £2,975.04 |
| Partition assembly labour | 55.7 sq m | £103.30 | £5,753.81 |
| Door opening kit allowance | 2 each | £496.00 | £992.00 |
| Joint finish and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £624.00 | £624.00 |
| Illustrative total | £13,129.99 | ||
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
Framing allowance is 20.7 metres × £110.20 = £2,281.14. Board and acoustic fill allowance is 57.6 sq m × £51.65 = £2,975.04. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £13,129.99. 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 partition lengths, heights, ceiling interface and service conflicts. Selection to check: Separate framing, board, acoustic fill and door or glazed components. 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
Agree a layout and building handoff before material procurement.
Outside this stated scope: No structural work, ventilation relocation or unapproved compliance certification.
Fire, acoustic or landlord requirements may change specification after review. 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.
