How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for wet-wall preparation and waterproofing is 75 sq. ft. × $18.00 = $1,350.00. 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 $5,665.00. 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: Measure the finished alcove on three sides, the wet-wall area and the drain location before selecting the base. Selection to verify: Keep the shower base, screen and finish tile as named allowances until the products are selected.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm water shutoff, demolition, waterproofing inspection and curing time before promising a handoff date.
Outside the stated scope: No bathroom layout change, concealed structural repair or whole-room repainting.
Rot behind the surround or a drain that cannot align with the chosen base changes the work. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
