Calculation check: 91.97 m² × A$22.00 = A$2,023.34; 83.61 m² × A$18.00 = A$1,504.98. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,403.32. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Document current material, moisture evidence, wiring and access constraints. Resolve any condition requiring another trade before pricing a straightforward addition.
Outside this example: No existing insulation removal, air sealing, ventilation alteration, moisture repair 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.
