Walk-In Build Plan · v1.1.0 · local prices

Price the current purchase quantities

Enter a price per listed purchase unit, not per foot or installed square foot. Change a quantity when a supplier or your site decision changes it. Clearing an override restores the baseline; rows without a baseline stay unresolved.

Product-dependent rows need confirmation even when a quantity is shown. Labor, permits and unlisted site work remain outside this list. M31 can record a quoted delivery, tax, tools or site-services package; do not count that package again in the project budget below.

$0.00Priced purchase-sheet subtotal · 0 of 31 rows priced · 31 unresolved rows

Prices do not approve a material or resolve a structural choice. The quote uses your inputs; it is not a market-price estimate.

Record supplier, date, product or tax details here. For several suppliers, identify each row by its M-number. Unfinished inputs stay in this tab when storage is available; My Project includes the explicitly saved version. This purchase subtotal stays separate from the scope budget; it is never added twice automatically.

What is a counted quantity, and what still needs a decision?

Scheduled baseline quantities

Lumber stock, floor and nest sheets are stated for this fixed version. Inspect actual stock, kerf, sheet fit and the selected product before ordering.

Allowances to reconcile

M11: 16 wall sheets is provisional. M12: four roof sheets include infill, whose seams need support. Neither area division nor an available offcut proves a supported sheet layout.

Product or site quantities

Roof covering, WRB/siding, mesh, ground transitions and selected hardware need their own measured or quoted scope. Keep missing quantities and prices visible; an incomplete quote is a subtotal.

Scope and cost inputs

Choose the scope before counting costs.

Switching modes keeps the same values. Quick Mode summarizes the underlying rows, so amounts are never counted twice and any unpriced row stays unknown.

Selecting a Plan does not populate quantities or prove fit. Changing scope retains every input, but only matching rows count. No complete-project price is promised.

How to use this worksheet / fictional example

Unknown stays unknown, even if numbers were typed. Choose “My assumption / example” for a guess, or “My local quote” and name its source/date/scope. Zero must be entered explicitly. Exclusions need a reason. Blank or invalid values never silently become zero.

Quick Mode

Eight budget groups.

See what still needs a price, then open any group to enter a local quote, assumption or explicit exclusion. Your values stay in place when the detailed editor opens.
