This original fictional example is set in Cairns, Queensland. Harbour & Gum Projects and Alex Morgan are made-up parties. The matching Australian guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-au/guides/how-to-estimate-concrete-shed-base/) explains which measurements, product decisions and site conditions turn this brief into a client-ready quote. Example location Cairns, Queensland Prepared by Harbour & Gum Projects · fictional business Prepared for Alex Morgan · fictional customer Issued / valid through 25 September 2026 / 25 October 2026 Itemised concrete shed base installation costs These 7 AUD lines reproduce the native app export. Excavation is measured as 11.15 m²; Formwork uses 13.41 m. Some lines are measured work while others are a product or site-task allowance. Read the unit before reusing the structure for a different job. Concrete shed base installation example — AUD, fictional inputs Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount | Setting-out and protection | 1 job | A$238.43 | A$238.43 | Excavation | 11.15 m² | A$77.80 | A$867.47 | Base aggregate allowance | 1 job | A$447.95 | A$447.95 | Formwork | 13.41 m | A$33.00 | A$442.53 | Reinforcement allowance | 1 job | A$375.70 | A$375.70 | Concrete supply | 1.53 m³ | A$454.00 | A$694.62 | Place and finish | 11.15 m² | A$140.00 | A$1,561.00 | Illustrative total | A$4,627.70 | 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 Excavation: 11.15 m² × A$77.80 = A$867.47. Formwork: 13.41 m × A$33.00 = A$442.53. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$4,627.70 . Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total. Measurement to check: Measure shed footprint plus required edge clearance; calculate concrete volume from area and design thickness. Selection to check: Keep excavation, granular base, reinforcement allowance and concrete supply separate. 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 shed supplier base requirements and drainage before pour day. Outside this stated scope: No shed assembly, electrical supply or engineered foundation. Unexpected fill or poor bearing ground changes excavation and base design. 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.
