What the example includes—and leaves out
The sample assumes suitable framing for the selected system. Additional blocking or wall repair should be assessed and added if needed.
Outside this scope: No closet doors, new wall blocking, electrical work, full repainting or custom cabinetry.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.
