How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for tank placement labor is 5 hours × $75.00 = $375.00. 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 $2,235.00 . 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 tank footprint, overflow route, downpipe position and service access. Selection to verify: Separate tank, base materials and diversion fittings; document capacity as the selected product.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm ground bearing and a safe overflow path before placing the tank.

Outside the stated scope: No drinking-water connection, pump system or buried storage excavation.

A poor base location or no suitable overflow can change siting and connection. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
