Calculation check: 5.49 m × A$161.00 = A$883.89; 3.9 m² × A$1,054.90 = A$4,114.11. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$7,390.80. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Finished edges, sink cutouts and special corners can be separate supplier charges. Count them explicitly rather than implying that measured area includes every detail.
Outside this example: No cabinet repair, sink or tap purchase, plumbing reconnection, splashback replacement or specialty structural support.
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 kitchen benchtop replacement
Is a sink cutout part of the square-metre price?
It may be a separate fabrication task. Show it explicitly when it has its own supplier or labour cost.
Can I finalize the price before templating?
Use a labelled allowance or preliminary quantity, then reconcile it to the fabricator measurement and selected details.
