Check the arithmetic
Water pipe allowance: 25.91 m × A$55.00 = A$1,425.05. Water rough-in labour: 20 hours × A$114.00 = A$2,280.00. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$7,857.05. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Set out each fixture centre, pipe route, chase, floor level and connection point from the selected layout. Selection to check: Identify pipe, fittings and fixture-specific connection allowances without assuming final trim products. 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.
