How to read the quantities
One pump allowance × $385 = $385, and one installation line × $310 = $310. Together they are $695; fittings, access and removal remain separate.
What the example includes—and leaves out
State the chosen pump or a clearly labeled allowance. Verify the product against the actual installation and customer requirements rather than using a universal pump price.
Outside this scope: No new pit, discharge-route change, electrical circuit repair, waterproofing work or guarantee against future water entry.
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.

Common questions
Does a pump estimate include waterproofing?
Only if it is separately scoped. Replacing one pump does not price foundation or drainage repairs.
Should the discharge line be measured?
Yes if it is being changed. This example reuses a suitable existing route and only allows connection fittings.
