In plain English
Instead of giving only one combined price, it shows the expected costs one by one. Each separate entry identifies a specific repair, service, material, or other cost and the estimated price for that entry.
In context
Here, "itemized estimate" names an estimate that presents the expected costs as separate items rather than only as a single total.
- Situation
- Submitting claims, evidence, estimates, and following claim status
- What it communicates
- names an estimate that breaks costs into separate items
Meaning limits
By itself, the term does not establish that the listed amounts are final rather than estimated.
Examples
“The contractor gave an itemized estimate that listed paint, drywall repair, and labour separately instead of quoting one total.”
“Before deciding, we asked for an itemized estimate for the kitchen repairs.”
