What this example covers

Build a level concrete base for a selected garden shed footprint with excavation, compacted base, edge forms and specified slab thickness.

Use this example to see a complete document for one detached garden shed pad . The brief is tied to Spokane, Washington for a plausible project setting; the amounts are fictional input values and do not represent local market prices. The estimating guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-us/guides/how-to-estimate-concrete-shed-base/) explains the decisions behind these lines.

Itemized concrete shed base installation example

These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.

Concrete shed base installation example — USD Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |

Setting-out and protection | 1 job | $165.00 | $165.00 |

Excavation | 120 sq. ft. | $5.00 | $600.00 |

Base aggregate allowance | 1 job | $310.00 | $310.00 |

Formwork | 44 linear ft. | $7.00 | $308.00 |

Reinforcement allowance | 1 job | $260.00 | $260.00 |

Concrete supply | 2 cubic yd. | $240.00 | $480.00 |

Place and finish | 120 sq. ft. | $9.00 | $1,080.00 |

Subtotal / example total | $3,203.00 |

How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for excavation is 120 sq. ft. × $5.00 = $600.00. 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 $3,203.00 . 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 shed footprint plus required edge clearance; calculate concrete volume from area and design thickness. Selection to verify: Keep excavation, granular base, reinforcement allowance and concrete supply separate.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm shed supplier base requirements and drainage before pour day.

Outside the stated scope: No shed assembly, electrical supply or engineered foundation.

Unexpected fill or poor bearing ground changes excavation and base design. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
