EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Norwich shopfront fascia sign installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,352.00 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 Norwich and concerns one replacement shopfront sign. Replace one non-illuminated shopfront fascia sign on sound existing supports, with selected panel, fixings and access setup. 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 shopfront fascia sign installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is New panel allowance at £1,000.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fascia survey and artwork check | 1 lump sum | £176.00 | £176.00 |
| Access and protection | 1 lump sum | £208.00 | £208.00 |
| Old sign removal | 1 each | £224.00 | £224.00 |
| New panel allowance | 1 each | £1,000.00 | £1,000.00 |
| Mounting hardware allowance | 1 lump sum | £152.00 | £152.00 |
| Sign fitting labour | 1 lump sum | £496.00 | £496.00 |
| Site clean-up and handoff | 1 lump sum | £96.00 | £96.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,352.00 | ||
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
Fascia survey and artwork check is 1 lump sum × £176.00 = £176.00. Access and protection is 1 lump sum × £208.00 = £208.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,352.00. 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 fascia opening, fixing centres, sign weight and safe access height. Selection to check: Separate sign fabrication, mount hardware and installation equipment. 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
Approve artwork and confirm customer or landlord permissions before fabrication.
Outside this stated scope: No electrical work, structural fascia rebuild or approval guarantee.
Weak supports or a request for illumination adds a new design and trade 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.
