Calculation check: 37.16 m² × A$8.25 = A$306.57; 37.16 m² × A$33.25 = A$1,235.57. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,717.49. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Existing coatings, oil staining, cracking and moisture can change preparation. The limited crack-treatment allowance covers cosmetic surface preparation only; movement, structural cracks and slab repair require a separate assessment.
Outside this example: No moisture mitigation, slab levelling, structural crack or other slab repair, old-coating removal beyond stated preparation or vehicle-storage service.
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.
