Construction estimate template built for Canadian quoting
An editable Excel estimate with itemized labour, materials, and subcontract lines, per-line markup, and a provincial tax lookup that applies GST, HST, or combined rates to the total. Download it, put your name on it, and quote — no email gate.
Excel / Google Sheets compatible · no sign-up required
Three steps to a working document
Set the job details
Client, project address, and the province — the tax lookup uses the province code to pull the right combined rate.
Itemize the work
One line per scope item, typed as labour, materials, or subcontract, with quantity, unit cost, and your markup percentage per line.
Check the math
Line totals, subtotal, tax, and the CAD total calculate automatically. Add exclusions and a validity period before it goes out.
PST treatment of construction labour and materials varies by province and situation — the template flags this, and the rates table is editable. Confirm treatment with your accountant; this is a template, not tax advice.
When the spreadsheet stops scaling
Bridge AI drafts the same itemized, tax-ready estimate from a one-sentence brief — then you edit and send.

Does the template handle GST, HST, and PST?
Yes — it includes an editable rate table for all provinces and territories and applies the selected province's combined rate to the subtotal. Where PST treatment of specific items varies, confirm with your accountant.
Can I use it in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open with Sheets — the formulas carry over.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email address, no sign-up. If you later want estimates drafted for you by AI with the tax applied automatically, that's what BuildersBridge does.
