The complete takeoff.
Material total = quantity × unit cost. Labor total = hours × $65.00. Line total = materials + labor.
Quantities are installed amounts. Tile unit costs include the stated waste allowance; do not add waste again.

Where quantities come from
Every quantity here comes from the made-up scope, not measured plans or photos. The table explains each quantity.
Tile extends past the tub on both side walls: (5 + 3.75 + 3.75) × 8 = 100 sq ft.
Paintable walls use a 36 lin ft perimeter: 36 × 8 − 100 − 21 − 55 = 112 sq ft.
Deductions are the tiled surround, doorway and assumed fixture or cabinet coverage. Add the 80 sq ft ceiling for paint.
Floor tile uses the gross room area as a conservative allowance. Confirm exposed floor area during your walkthrough.
What this total leaves out
- No layout changes, structural work, hidden rot, asbestos or lead remediation.
- No permits, inspections, engineering, taxes or contingency. Add these when the actual job requires them.
- No shower glass, accessories or separate door replacement.
- Existing subfloor, supply lines, circuit and vent duct are usable. No panel upgrade or new duct run.
- Normal access and working hours. Cleanup labor is included with demo; disposal cost is a material-side allowance.
The $149 estimating service fee is separate. It is not included in this construction total.
Check the scope. Then check your rates.
A useful bathroom estimate separates quantities, material allowances and labor. It also makes missing work visible before a bid goes out.
Our planned service turns your plans or measured photos into that job sheet, using your labor rate and markup.
