Itemized home office data cabling 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.

Home office data cabling example — USD Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |

Route survey and protection | 1 job | $160.00 | $160.00 |

Data cable allowance | 150 linear ft. | $2.00 | $300.00 |

Faceplate and jack allowance | 2 each | $95.00 | $190.00 |

Containment allowance | 1 job | $155.00 | $155.00 |

Cable pulling labor | 8 hours | $78.00 | $624.00 |

Termination and test | 2 each | $170.00 | $340.00 |

Patch record and cleanup | 1 job | $95.00 | $95.00 |

Subtotal / example total | $1,864.00 |

How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for data cable allowance is 150 linear ft. × $2.00 = $300.00. 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 $1,864.00 . 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 cable run and confirm wall route, device locations and patch-panel access. Selection to verify: Specify cable category, faceplates and termination hardware separately.

Assumptions and exclusions

Agree pathway and surface finish before cutting walls.

Outside the stated scope: No internet subscription, network switch upgrade or wall repaint.

Blocked cavities or unavailable network port capacity change the route or equipment. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
