Missing info — confirm with the client
- What is the reinforcement spec for the basement walls (rebar size and spacing)?
- Is a footing required beneath the basement walls, and if so what are the dimensions?
- What is the concrete finish required for the basement floor slab?
- What is the crew size planned for this job?
- Is a vapour barrier / poly required under the floor slab?

Assumptions made
- Job combines a floor slab and retaining/basement walls — two separate pours with different specs; wall area calculated as 70 ft length x 8 ft height = 560 sqft face area
- Concrete thickness of 4 inches applied to floor slab; wall thickness of 8 inches noted separately but a single concrete_thickness_in field is used — floor thickness recorded here
- Wire mesh reinforcement stated for floor slab; wall reinforcement not specified — see missing_info
- Base gravel of 4 inches stated for floor slab only; wall footing base not described

Checks the description against your line items for missed costs.
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.
Other PDF formats
Grouped client deliverables, items + total, and the full set — for when you want something other than the three above.
Estimora calculated these numbers from your cost database, but you own the quote — review quantities and pricing before it goes to the client.
