How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for wall-rail allowance is 30 linear ft. × $28.00 = $840.00. 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 $5,346.00. 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 clear wall runs, floor slope, door sweep and storage loads. Selection to verify: Separate selected cabinets, shelf rails and countertop from fitting labor.
Assumptions and exclusions
Lay out storage at full scale before fixing to suitable backing.
Outside the stated scope: No electrical work, floor coating or structural wall reinforcement.
Hidden services or insufficient backing change anchors and cabinet positions. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
