This is a free bathroom remodel estimate template with the whole job already itemized: demolition and disposal, framing, plumbing, electrical and ventilation, waterproofing, tile, vanity and glass, finishes, and the permits and contingency lines at the end. Load it in the builder, delete what the job doesn't call for, and put your rates on what's left. The rates ship blank on purpose. They're yours, and they vary by market.
Bathroom remodel estimates go wrong in the lines that never show up in the finished photos. The waterproof membrane. The blocking behind the wall-mounted fixtures. The debris that leaves by the cubic yard. A bathroom renovation estimate with four rows and a total isn't simpler, it's just missing the part where the shower doesn't leak, and the difference comes out of your margin.
Every section below loads into the builder exactly as listed. This is the actual checklist, not a preview of one. Delete what your job doesn’t need and price the rest.
Tear-out from fixtures to flooring, plus the site protection, dumpster, and haul-away lines that make the mess billable.
What the demo uncovers: wall and subfloor repair, blocking for fixtures, niche framing, and reframing openings.
Rough-in through final connections, with separate lines for relocating drains, setting the toilet, and every fixture install.
Rough-in wiring, GFCI outlets, lighting, the exhaust fan the inspector will ask about, and heated floor wiring by the square foot.
Backer board, membrane, shower pan, and seam sealing. Invisible in the photos, expensive to skip.
Floor, shower, and surround tile by the square foot, trim and edging by the linear foot, grout and seal to close it out.
Unit: sq ft for tiled areas; ln ft for trim/edge pieces.
Vanity cabinet, countertop, mirror, medicine cabinet, shower glass enclosure, and the accessory installs at the end.
Drywall patch, paint, baseboard and trim, door install, caulk, final cleanup, and a general labor line by the day.
Building permit, mobilization, and a contingency allowance for whatever the walls have been hiding.
Overhead & profit is the percentage modifier, not a line.
Open it in the builder and the whole job is already sequenced, fixture removal through the contingency allowance, with the waterproofing section sitting between demo and tile where it belongs. Delete what your job doesn't need and add what your market does.
Put in your rates and what each line costs you: tile by the square foot, trim by the linear foot, fixtures each. The live P&L updates as you type, so you know your floor before the client asks what the number is made of.
Export a clean client estimate: prices, quantities, one total. The client version is built from a copy that never contained your costs, margins, or notes. There is no toggle to forget because there is no toggle.
The full guide (units, tax math, deposits, exports) lives on the Help page. It’s genuinely thorough. We’re as surprised as you.
For the longer answer, there’s a guide: How to Write a Construction Estimate.
Nine sections in the order the job actually runs, demolition and disposal through finishes, with permits and contingency at the end. In between: framing and structural, plumbing, electrical and ventilation, waterproofing and substrate, tile and surfaces, and vanity, fixtures and glass. Inside them are the lines that get skipped and invoiced awkwardly later: site protection, blocking for fixtures, seam and corner sealing, debris haul-away. Delete what your job doesn't need.
Line by line, from your side of the job. Demo scope, tile square footage, how far the plumbing moves, and fixture count drive most of the number, and each one has its own line here. Every line is rate times quantity times multiplier, so a rate change flows straight through the total. Overhead and profit is built in as a document-level fee on the subtotal, because margin you don't write down is margin you don't get.
The template ships with a contingency allowance line, because you don't know what's behind the tile until the tile is gone. Priced as a line, it's in the total instead of in a difficult phone call later. For deposits, the builder supports an informational deposit line at the document level, plus the overhead and profit fee as a percentage of the subtotal and a discount if the negotiation goes that way.
Yes. The builder works without an account, and every export works on the free plan: client PDF, Excel, CSV, an internal budget export, and a read-only share link. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it puts your name, logo, and contact line on client-facing exports and adds a reusable catalog of your standard line items. The template is the free part.
