EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Bristol pocket sliding door installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £3,032.00 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 one interior doorway. Install one pocket sliding door kit within a defined non-load-bearing interior partition, with track, door leaf and finish 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 pocket sliding door installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Frame and track fitting at £624.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening and service survey | 1 lump sum | £184.00 | £184.00 |
| Partition opening | 1 lump sum | £416.00 | £416.00 |
| Pocket frame allowance | 1 each | £544.00 | £544.00 |
| Door and hardware allowance | 1 set | £608.00 | £608.00 |
| Frame and track fitting | 1 lump sum | £624.00 | £624.00 |
| Wall board and trim closure | 1 lump sum | £512.00 | £512.00 |
| Adjustment and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Illustrative total | £3,032.00 | ||
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
Opening and service survey is 1 lump sum × £184.00 = £184.00. Partition opening is 1 lump sum × £416.00 = £416.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,032.00. 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 opening, wall thickness, travel space and hidden service routes. Selection to check: Identify pocket frame, door leaf and hardware separately. 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 wall construction and services before opening the partition.
Outside this stated scope: No structural wall alteration, electrical relocation or whole-room repainting.
Load-bearing framing or pipes inside the pocket zone require redesign. 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.
