EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Exeter utility sink installation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £1,348.00 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 Exeter and concerns one new utility-room sink. Install one selected utility sink near existing suitable water and drain services, with tap, trap and wall or floor support. 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 utility sink installation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Sink product allowance at £312.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site measurement and protection | 1 lump sum | £108.00 | £108.00 |
| Sink product allowance | 1 each | £312.00 | £312.00 |
| Tap allowance | 1 each | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Waste and supply fittings | 1 lump sum | £176.00 | £176.00 |
| Support and mounting | 1 lump sum | £224.00 | £224.00 |
| Water and drain connection | 1 lump sum | £288.00 | £288.00 |
| Leak check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £96.00 | £96.00 |
| Illustrative total | £1,348.00 | ||
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
Site measurement and protection is 1 lump sum × £108.00 = £108.00. Sink product allowance is 1 each × £312.00 = £312.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £1,348.00. 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 sink footprint, service route, fixing support and working clearance. Selection to check: Separate sink, tap and connection materials from fit-out labour. 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 drain fall and shutoff before fixing the sink.
Outside this stated scope: No new room drainage, cabinet fitout or floor repair.
Hidden pipework or weak wall support can change the mounting method. 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.
