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
Gutter detach and support: 28.96 m × A$34.25 = A$991.88. Old board removal: 28.96 m × A$42.75 = A$1,238.04. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$10,658.30. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure fascia run, soffit width, corner returns and existing gutter fixings. Selection to check: Separate board material, vents and gutter brackets from access and installation. 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
Plan gutter support and weather protection before removing the old boards.
Outside this stated scope: No roof covering replacement, full gutter renewal or concealed framing repair.
Rotten rafter tails or damaged roof edge require additional carpentry. 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.
