Project scope, calculations and limitations
Concept model: Nine zones cover 9,600 SF. The 96-line register groups quantities and fictional materials, labor and equipment rates by CSI division. Downloadable marked plans (A-101, A-102, A-201, E-101, E-102) cross-reference room and trade quantities. The workbook includes editable rates, zone schedules, costing formulas and QA controls.
Important: This is a constructed demonstration, not a past client project. Drawings are conceptual; pricing is fictional and not a market quotation. Partial mechanical/electrical/plumbing scope, unverified specifications and exclusions mean it is not a complete bid-ready estimate.

Measurement basis and scope clarifications
Calculation basis: Concept plan DEM-A101: 36 × 28 ft overall, divided into five contiguous rectangular zones. Net flooring: 648 SF LVP plus 360 SF porcelain tile = 1,008 SF. Base lengths deduct assumed openings; allowances are material-level assumptions. Procurement and underlayment calculations are included in the detailed reports.
Excluded or to be verified: Real floor drawings and specifications, substrate preparation, demolition, moisture mitigation, actual pricing, delivery and labor.
