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
Fixture allowance: 1 set × A$2,479.00 = A$2,479.00. Floor finish allowance: 10.68 m² × A$158.75 = A$1,695.45. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$9,507.65. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Count fixtures and partitions, measure floor and paintable wall surfaces and confirm access restrictions. Selection to check: Keep fixture and finish allowances distinct from installation and closures. 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
Plan shutdown and reopening around the building operator before removal.
Outside this stated scope: No layout change, service upgrade or certified accessibility redesign.
Accessibility or service defects found during work require a revised scope. 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.
