How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for furniture protection is 4 rooms × $130.00 = $520.00. 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 $5,852.00. 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 wall area, doors, fixed equipment and the usable work window. Selection to verify: State paint products, color changes and whether low-odour requirements affect selection.
Assumptions and exclusions
Stage one room at a time and document who moves desks and returns access.
Outside the stated scope: No ceiling repaint, data cabling move or overnight security provision.
Restricted access or additional preparation can add visits. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
