How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for opening and service survey is 1 job × $230.00 = $230.00. 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 $3,790.00. 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 opening, wall thickness, travel space and hidden service routes. Selection to verify: Identify pocket frame, door leaf and hardware separately.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm wall construction and services before opening the partition.
Outside the stated scope: No structural wall alteration, electrical relocation or whole-room repainting.
Load-bearing framing or pipes inside the pocket zone require redesign. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
