How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for paving cut and lift is 45 linear ft. × $14.00 = $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 $4,460.00 . 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 channel run, paving cut length, invert level and available outlet route. Selection to verify: Keep channel units, grates and pipe fittings distinct from excavation and reinstatement.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm outlet permissions and levels before cutting paving.

Outside the stated scope: No new dry well, sewer repair or large-area repaving.

No workable outlet or insufficient fall requires redesign rather than an assumed connection. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
