EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
An engineered wood floor installation example for two adjoining rooms contains 7 itemized lines totaling $10,970.00 before tax or markup. The actual app PDF, measurement basis, project boundaries and a matching how-to guide are available here; every rate is fictional.
What this example covers
Install selected engineered wood flooring over a suitable prepared subfloor in two rooms, with underlay, transitions and perimeter trim.
Use this example to see a complete document for two adjoining rooms. The brief is tied to Denver, Colorado for a plausible project setting; the amounts are fictional input values and do not represent local market prices. The estimating guide explains the decisions behind these lines.

Itemized engineered wood floor 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room measure and floor check | 1 job | $145.00 | $145.00 |
| Subfloor preparation | 620 sq. ft. | $2.00 | $1,240.00 |
| Board material allowance | 680 sq. ft. | $7.00 | $4,760.00 |
| Underlay allowance | 620 sq. ft. | $1.00 | $620.00 |
| Board fitting labor | 620 sq. ft. | $6.00 | $3,720.00 |
| Transition profiles | 3 each | $55.00 | $165.00 |
| Perimeter trim and cleanup | 1 job | $320.00 | $320.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $10,970.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for subfloor preparation is 620 sq. ft. × $2.00 = $1,240.00. 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 $10,970.00. 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 each room and board direction, then distinguish installed area from purchased cartons and cutting allowance. Selection to verify: List boards, underlay and transition profiles separately so grade and finish choices are visible.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm subfloor moisture, acclimation instructions and doorway levels before fitting.
Outside the stated scope: No subfloor reconstruction, stair treads or built-in furniture removal.
An unsuitable subfloor or late pattern change alters preparation and material takeoff. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
