Itemised deck repair example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 7 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work-area setup | 1 job | A$175.00 | A$175.00 |
| Selected board removal | 20 each | A$16.80 | A$336.00 |
| Replacement board allowance | 20 each | A$39.20 | A$784.00 |
| Fasteners and consumables | 1 job | A$119.00 | A$119.00 |
| Board fitting and installation | 20 each | A$33.60 | A$672.00 |
| Minor rail repair allowance | 1 job | A$245.00 | A$245.00 |
| Disposal and cleanup | 1 job | A$210.00 | A$210.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | A$2,541.00 | ||
Calculation check: 20 each × A$16.80 = A$336.00; 20 each × A$39.20 = A$784.00. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$2,541.00. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Visible surface damage may not describe the condition underneath. The example assumes the supporting structure has already been found suitable. If that has not been established, explain what must be checked before confirming the repair scope.
Outside this example: No new footings, structural reconstruction, full railing replacement, staining or certification of existing structural adequacy.
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 deck repair
Can a deck repair quote cover hidden structural damage?
Only when that work has been assessed and scoped. A surface-repair example should explicitly distinguish its included work from unknown or structural repairs.
Should staining be in a board-replacement estimate?
Include it only when agreed. Explain whether new boards are left unfinished, locally coated or part of a separately priced full refinishing scope.
