The project is a new build with a 24 by 16 attached deck at 30 by 48 inches off the ground, using TREX standard decking and aluminum custom railing totaling 48 linear feet, including stairs (4 feet wide, 7 flights). Site conditions are moderate and include a pool nearby, rock in the ground, and obstacles, plus allowances for a built-in bench ($500) and staining and sealing ($150). The estimate includes permits, hardware and fasteners, taxes, labor computed by estimated crew hours by phase, equipment, overhead, margin, and sets a proposal expiration of 30 days with options to generate the PDF and material list.
