Elevators, Escalators & Vertical Transport Equipment worked example

Vertical Transport Quote Price at 72% quote scope captured: a worked example

This worked example runs the vertical transport quote price numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 72% quote scope captured instead of the typical 100%. Build a quote price for elevator, escalator, moving walkway, or modernization equipment from priced units, unit price basis, scope capture, and fixed project adders.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted elevator or escalator units: 4 units (held at the documented default)
  • Price basis per unit: 78,000 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Quote scope captured: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed project, option, install-support, and documentation adders: 26,000 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable quoted equipment price = quoted units × price basis per unit × quote scope captured.
  • Total vertical transport quote price works out to 250,640 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Quoted price per unit works out to 62,660 $ / unit at these inputs.
  • Variable quoted equipment price works out to 224,640 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed project adders works out to 26,000 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quote scope captured sits at 100% and the headline result is 338,000 $, this scenario comes in 25.85% below the baseline at 250,640 $.
  • Use it when preparing a bid, validating an estimator's number, or sanity-checking the per-unit price implied by a fixed-fee proposal. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Total vertical transport quote price: 250,640 $ (headline result)
