Construction Estimate Template
Itemize labor and materials for a client quote.
Columns per line: item, quantity, material cost per unit, labour cost per unit. Example lines are placeholders — replace them with your own measured quantities and local rates.
How it works & limits
Structured the way the leading guide, WorkHoist's construction estimate template, structures a bid: one line per item of work with quantity × unit rate split into material and labour, then the markups that turn a cost into a price — contingency, overhead, profit and tax — in that order. WorkHoist groups lines by CSI MasterFormat division or by phase (site work, framing, rough mechanicals, finishes, closeout); type the phase into the item name to group yours the same way. As that guide stresses, a template prices quantities, it does not measure them — takeoff from drawings is your job, and every example rate here is a placeholder to replace.
