EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This Exeter example prices four replacement window units with 6 itemised lines and a £2,752.00 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined window replacement job
This fictional project is located in Exeter. Replace four selected windows in existing suitable openings. Include a product allowance, removal, installation labour, interior finishing trim touch-up allowance, disposal and clean-up. Opening enlargement and concealed repairs excluded. The written scope is the boundary of the example: a customer should be able to match each planned task to a line in the document, and see where a product choice or hidden condition still needs checking.

Read every amount in pounds
The table reproduces the fixture sent to the app exporter. Each amount is its quantity multiplied by the shown unit rate, rounded to pence. The largest line is Window product allowance at £1,360.00; that is a part of the total, not a standard price for work of this kind. Check the unit, quantity and scope together before comparing lines with a real supplier or subcontractor quote.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Window product allowance | 4 each | £340.00 | £1,360.00 |
| Existing unit removal | 4 each | £52.00 | £208.00 |
| Window installation labour | 4 each | £180.00 | £720.00 |
| Installation materials allowance | 4 each | £36.00 | £144.00 |
| Interior finishing trim touch-up allowance | 4 each | £44.00 | £176.00 |
| Disposal and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £2,752.00 | ||
For a quick cross-check, window product allowance is 4 each × £340.00 = £1,360.00, and existing unit removal is 4 each × £52.00 = £208.00. The sum of all 6 line amounts is £2,752.00. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
State the installation approach and starting condition determined for the actual property. The sample assumes suitable existing openings. It does not price enlargement, reframing or a redesign of the opening.
Work outside the example: No opening enlargement, structural repair, full wall refinishing, specialty glazing or performance guarantees beyond the selected product terms.
The quantity basis matters. Where a product allowance differs from an installation quantity, the difference reflects this fictional layout or purchase plan and must be checked against the selected product. Existing conditions, safe access and any necessary approvals remain project decisions. Agree how changed measurements or discoveries will be recorded and priced before extra work begins.

Build an estimate for your own job
Start with a measured site record and the customer's selected finish or equipment. Replace all fictional quantities and rates, assign responsibility for supply and waste removal, and check that the exclusions describe the actual boundary. Review each extended amount, total and note in the PDF before sharing it.
- List each opening and selected unit.
- Confirm dimensions before ordering.
- Define interior and exterior finish scope.
- Document concealed-condition and product-change handling.

Common questions
Why separate window products from installation labour?
It shows how a different selected unit changes the material amount and keeps installation assumptions visible during comparisons.
Should finishing trim be part of a window estimate?
State the agreed finishing trim work explicitly. Include its quantity or allowance and distinguish touch-up from complete replacement or repainting.
