Itemized laundry drain connection 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route and waste survey | 1 job | $160.00 | $160.00 |
| Local wall access | 1 job | $165.00 | $165.00 |
| Pipe and trap allowance | 1 job | $240.00 | $240.00 |
| Standpipe and support allowance | 1 job | $130.00 | $130.00 |
| Connection labor | 7 hours | $90.00 | $630.00 |
| Flow and leak check | 1 job | $145.00 | $145.00 |
| Wall closure and cleanup | 1 job | $220.00 | $220.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $1,690.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for connection labor is 7 hours × $90.00 = $630.00. 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 $1,690.00. 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 pipe run, standpipe height, trap location and fall to the existing waste. Selection to verify: Show pipe, trap and fittings separately from wall opening and labor.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm the downstream drain and appliance position before cutting.
Outside the stated scope: No washing machine purchase, new water supply or buried drainage.
Insufficient fall or an undersized receiving line requires redesign. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
