Itemised carpet installation example

Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 6 entries match the fixture used to make the PDF. Metric surface and length units describe the priced work, not a conversion rule for another property.

Carpet installation example — AUD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Existing carpet and pad removal | 39.02 m² | A$12.00 | A$468.24 |

Carpet material allowance | 44.13 m² | A$57.00 | A$2,515.41 |

Pad material allowance | 39.02 m² | A$18.00 | A$702.36 |

Carpet and pad installation labour | 39.02 m² | A$34.00 | A$1,326.68 |

Doorway transitions | 2 each | A$119.00 | A$238.00 |

Disposal and cleanup | 1 job | A$252.00 | A$252.00 |

Subtotal / example total | A$5,502.69 |

Calculation check: 39.02 m² × A$12.00 = A$468.24; 44.13 m² × A$57.00 = A$2,515.41. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$5,502.69. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.

Assumptions and scope boundaries

The 44.13 m² allowance reflects a fictional layout, not a standard waste percentage. Confirm carpet width, pattern and seam placement for the selected product.

Outside this example: No subfloor repair, furniture moving, stair carpeting, specialty pattern matching or floor levelling.

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.

Common questions about carpet installation

Why is purchase area above room area?

Carpet roll layout and seams can require more material than installed area. Verify the actual takeoff for the chosen product.

Is pad included in carpet material?

Not in this example. It has a separate allowance so product choices and quantities remain clear.
