Example Project Workspace · Fictional project
The half bath is budgeted. Its plumbing route hasn’t been checked.
Harbor’s quote includes a plumbing allowance that assumes access from the basement. Elsewhere, it says the half-bath plumbing route hasn’t been verified from below.
There’s a price in the budget, but an assumption behind it is still unresolved. If the route changes, the work and price could change with it.
Could we confirm the plumbing route at the walk-through, then update the scope and price if needed?

Plumbing Rough-In Allowance · $6,000
“Budget placeholder for kitchen reconnects and half bath routing. Assumes accessible basement below.”
Project assumptions
“Half bath plumbing route has not been verified from below.”
Source: Harbor’s fictional preliminary budget. This is a question to resolve, not a finding that the route is unworkable.
Both say “flooring allowance.” They cover different work.
$3,600 is for flooring materials. Installation is a separate $8,750 line.
$5,000 covers materials and basic installation together.
Comparing the two allowance amounts would miss Northline’s separate labor cost. Match the flooring, area, and preparation before comparing these prices.
Could you price the same flooring and area, with separate amounts for materials, installation, and floor preparation?

Northline lists approximately 720 square feet. Harbor says its flooring quantity is approximate, so the areas also need to be matched.
Northline excludes floor preparation beyond standard scraping. Harbor excludes major subfloor repair. The documents do not establish an identical preparation scope.
