Carpentry estimate template for custom built-ins.
Built-ins start on paper, get built by the foot, and go in over a couple of days. This estimate prices each stage and takes a deposit before you buy the sheet goods.

Why it's laid out this way
- Drawings priced as real work, signed before the first cut
- Cabinetry per linear ft so a wider wall is a new quantity
- Install per day, since scribing to old walls takes the time it takes
- A 50% deposit, common on custom work where you're buying materials up front
Or build it by chat
Send Redline a photo of the wall with your tape measurements and say "quote Alan Fitzgerald: drawings, 12 feet of painted bookcases, window seat, 18 feet of crown, two install days, half down". It builds the itemized estimate and saves it on his file once you've checked it.
Redline doesn't send him a link to approve it; show him at the house or email him from your Gmail. See quotes and estimates or check your markup with the markup vs margin calculator.
Quote the next built-in by chat.
Redline is free to start. Describe the piece and it lays out the lines and the deposit.
