Confirm delivery, fixings, preparation, waste and any specialist trade responsibility for the actual job rather than assuming each allowance covers them. Check the arithmetic Weather layer allowance: 35.3 m² × A$29.60 = A$1,044.88. Cladding material allowance: 38.09 m² × A$133.00 = A$5,065.97. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$15,255.75 . Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total. Measurement to check: Measure net wall area, openings, corners and trim length; state the existing wall build-up. Selection to check: Separate cladding boards, weather layer and trim allowances. 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 Check substrate and moisture detailing before fixing battens and boards. Outside this stated scope: No wall framing, insulation retrofit or structural repair. Unsound sheathing or missing flashings require additional envelope work. 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.
