How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for ramp construction labor is 120 sq. ft. × $28.00 = $3,360.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $9,900.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Survey rise, available run, landings, door swing and drainage; slope must follow locally applicable design. Selection to verify: Separate structural material, surface and rail allowances.
Assumptions and exclusions
Obtain the required design and permissions before construction; check levels at each stage.
Outside the stated scope: No accessibility certification, public sidewalk work or structural foundation redesign.
Insufficient available run or weak landing support changes the design. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
