Itemized garden masonry wall rebuild 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site survey and protection | 1 job | $210.00 | $210.00 |
| Careful wall dismantling | 65 sq. ft. | $14.00 | $910.00 |

| Subtotal / example total | $5,850.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for careful wall dismantling is 65 sq. ft. × $14.00 = $910.00. 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 $5,850.00. 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 wall length, height, thickness and salvageable units; inspect the existing footing. Selection to verify: Identify new matching units, mortar and coping as product allowances.
Assumptions and exclusions
Record protection of neighbouring property and sequence careful dismantling before rebuilding.
Outside the stated scope: No new footing, structural design or work on uninspected adjacent wall.
A failed footing or unstable adjoining wall changes the construction scope. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
