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
Shower base allowance: 1 each × A$965.20 = A$965.20. Wet-wall preparation and waterproofing: 6.97 m² × A$246.00 = A$1,714.62. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$7,194.83. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure the finished alcove on three sides, the wet-wall area and the drain location before selecting the base. Selection to check: Keep the shower base, screen and finish tile as named allowances until the products are selected. 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
Confirm water shutoff, demolition, waterproofing inspection and curing time before promising a handoff date.
Outside this stated scope: No bathroom layout change, concealed structural repair or whole-room repainting.
Rot behind the surround or a drain that cannot align with the chosen base changes the work. 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.
