Itemised ceiling fan 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing fixture removal | 2 each | A$77.00 | A$154.00 |
| Fan assembly labour | 2 each | A$119.00 | A$238.00 |
| Fan mounting labour | 2 each | A$273.00 | A$546.00 |
| Small hardware allowance | 2 each | A$35.00 | A$70.00 |
| Operation and balance check | 2 each | A$84.00 | A$168.00 |
| Setup and cleanup | 1 job | A$161.00 | A$161.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | A$1,337.00 | ||
Calculation check: 2 each × A$77.00 = A$154.00; 2 each × A$119.00 = A$238.00. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$1,337.00. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
The sample assumes suitable fan-rated support and existing wiring. Have the appropriate trade inspect those conditions before finalizing labour; do not price an unknown support correction as standard mounting.
Outside this example: No new fan-rated box, wiring, switch alteration, ceiling repair, high-ceiling lift or fan purchase.
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.
