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
Charger unit allowance: 1 each × A$982.60 = A$982.60. Cable and containment allowance: 19.81 m × A$85.00 = A$1,683.85. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$6,018.90. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure cable route, mounting position, panel capacity information and parking access before proposing equipment. Selection to check: Separate charger, cable and protective device allowances from installation labour. 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
A qualified installer must verify service and protective-device suitability before work.
Outside this stated scope: No service upgrade, trench across public land or utility-provider work.
Insufficient capacity or a longer concealed route requires a revised 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.
