How this total is built

A full reconciliation panel that lists every material category, every labour line, every service, colour upgrades and each markup rule, adding to the customer total.

What it is

Not a summary — a reconciliation. Anything worth a dollar appears on its own row: if a number is in the total it is visible here, and if it isn't here it isn't in the total.

Also called: show me the math · price breakdown · where does the number come from · reconciliation

The dark 'How this total is built' card at the bottom of the Summary tab with its BreakdownGroup rows (InternalEstimateSummary.tsx). Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Materials group by category with each category's figure.
  2. 2Labour lists every generated line with its detail string and hours.
  3. 3Services and site work list each line with its quantity × rate.
  4. 4Colour upgrades and each markup rule get their own accented rows.
  5. 5The sum sits at the bottom as the customer total.
Why we built it

The bottom of the estimate summarised the whole price as one word and one number, which is no use to a builder defending it on the phone or to a customer asking why it moved. The reconciliation panel now lists every material category, every labour line, every service, colour upgrades and each markup rule, adding up to the customer total — every single thing that contributes to that figure, itemised.

The problem
  • A grand total with no auditable path back to its parts

What you get
