Calculation check: 49.05 m² × A$33.20 = A$1,628.46; 44.59 m² × A$35.00 = A$1,560.65. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,162.11. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Record access height, wet areas, damaged framing and existing insulation. The example assumes a suitable, accessible workspace and does not price correction of underlying problems.
Outside this example: No drainage, vapor-control redesign, pest treatment, framing repair or removal of suspect materials.
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.
