EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Brisbane, Queensland engineered wood floor installation example contains 7 itemised costs totalling A$14,296.32. Its app-exported PDF uses the exact metric quantities and AUD rates in the table, with scope assumptions and exclusions explained below.
Project scope: Two adjoining rooms
Install selected engineered timber flooring over a suitable prepared subfloor in two rooms, with underlay, transitions and perimeter trim.
This original fictional example is set in Brisbane, Queensland. Harbour & Gum Projects and Alex Morgan are made-up parties. The matching Australian guide explains which measurements, product decisions and site conditions turn this brief into a client-ready quote.

Itemised engineered wood floor installation costs
These 7 AUD lines reproduce the native app export. Subfloor preparation is measured as 57.6 m²; Board material allowance uses 63.17 m². 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room measure and floor check | 1 job | A$189.23 | A$189.23 |
| Subfloor preparation | 57.6 m² | A$28.10 | A$1,618.56 |
| Board material allowance | 63.17 m² | A$98.00 | A$6,190.66 |
| Underlay allowance | 57.6 m² | A$14.05 | A$809.28 |
| Board fitting labour | 57.6 m² | A$84.30 | A$4,855.68 |
| Transition profiles | 3 each | A$71.77 | A$215.31 |
| Perimeter trim and cleanup | 1 job | A$417.60 | A$417.60 |
| Illustrative total | A$14,296.32 | ||
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
Subfloor preparation: 57.6 m² × A$28.10 = A$1,618.56. Board material allowance: 63.17 m² × A$98.00 = A$6,190.66. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$14,296.32. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure each room and board direction, then distinguish installed area from purchased cartons and cutting allowance. Selection to check: List boards, underlay and transition profiles separately so grade and finish choices are visible. 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 subfloor moisture, acclimation instructions and doorway levels before fitting.
Outside this stated scope: No subfloor reconstruction, stair treads or built-in furniture removal.
An unsuitable subfloor or late pattern change alters preparation and material takeoff. 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.
