Product selection and installation should be clear from the descriptions. Confirm delivery, fixings, preparation, waste and any specialist trade responsibility for the actual job rather than assuming each allowance covers them.
Check the arithmetic
Ramp construction labour: 11.15 m² × A$446.00 = A$4,972.90. Non-slip surface allowance: 12.08 m² × A$191.25 = A$2,310.30. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$14,656.92. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Survey rise, available run, landings, door swing and drainage; slope must follow locally applicable design. Selection to check: Separate structural material, surface and rail allowances. The PDF uses a 0% tax input only to make its fictional arithmetic visible. Confirm the GST treatment that applies to the actual job and set your own markup before sharing a client quote.
Assumptions and exclusions
Obtain the required design and permissions before construction; check levels at each stage.
Outside this stated scope: No accessibility certification, public footpath work or structural foundation redesign.
Insufficient available run or weak landing support changes the design. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, revised allowance or separately agreed task. Keep the client informed of the changed figure before producing another PDF.
