Missing info — confirm with the client
- Confirm slab concrete thickness (drawing does not specify; typical 4" or 5"?)
- Confirm foundation wall thickness (8" assumed — please verify)
- Confirm standard footing dimensions to use (e.g. 16" wide x 8" deep?)
- Rebar spec for foundation wall and footing — contractor said industry standard; please confirm (10M @ 12" o.c. or 15M?)
- Confirm volume/quantity of soil to be removed — any organics, rock, or fill present?
- Confirm whether waterproofing, damp-proofing, or poly vapour barrier is required under slab or on foundation wall
- Will a drain tile/weeping tile system be required around the footing?
- Access constraints for excavation equipment on this site?
- Sealer required on the slab floor?
- Confirm total excavation depth required (footing depth + wall height + slab — what is the overall dig depth?)
- Confirm total linear footage of foundation walls for forming and pour quantities
Assumptions made
- Storage room footprint read from drawing dimensions 28'-8" [8738mm] x 15'-9" [4794mm] — confirmed from plan annotation; slab sqft calculated as approximately 452 sq ft
- Foundation wall perimeter derived from same footprint but exact footing width/depth not stated — assumed industry standard (e.g. 8" wall, 16"x8" footing) pending confirmation
- Concrete thickness for slab not stated — left null for pricing engine default (5")
- Concrete thickness for foundation wall not stated — left null; standard 8" assumed by pricing engine
- Drawing noted as FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION — dimensions used here are from the design drawing only and should be confirmed against issued-for-construction documents
- Contractor confirmed full excavation of entire basement area is required including foundation walls — site_conditions and excavation_required updated accordingly
- Contractor confirmed there is existing soil to be removed — demo_removal set to true

Tip: this is the "second set of eyes" — run it before every send. It catches the stuff that eats margins: missing disposal, no compaction, unpriced access problems.

Client quote (what the homeowner sees on the PDF)
Your line items get grouped into a few plain deliverables — no “excavator 2 days”. Your costs and margin stay private; the prices here are summed from your line items and always match the total.
Click Draft from costs to group your line items into client-friendly deliverables, then rename, merge, or reorder them before you send the PDF. Prefer one line? You can still pick “Lump sum” when you export.
