Calculation check: 18 each × A$53.20 = A$957.60; 36.58 m × A$20.50 = A$749.89. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$2,743.49. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Existing insulation may need careful movement and replacement around work locations. The example allows that effort without assuming wholesale insulation removal.
Outside this example: No blower-door testing, new insulation, concealed cavity repair, ventilation change or hazardous-material handling.
Selections, access or concealed conditions that differ from this scope require a revised quantity, allowance or separate line. The example deliberately separates them so the client can see what has and has not been priced.
