How to read the quantities
Surface dust removal is 1,400 sq. ft. × $0.62 = $868. Floor cleaning is 1,400 × $0.38 = $532, totaling $1,400 for those area-based lines.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Square footage covers broad dust and floors, while kitchens, baths and windows need their own counts. State whether cabinetry interiors or appliances are included.
Outside this scope: No hazardous dust remediation, bulk debris hauling, exterior window cleaning, duct cleaning or cleaning after later trade work.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.
