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
Wall cleaning and filling: 9 hours × A$59.28 = A$533.52. Wall application: 48.31 m² × A$27.00 = A$1,304.37. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$3,381.82. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure walls and ceiling separately, noting shelves, exposed services and surface porosity. Selection to check: Choose wall and ceiling products and decide whether stain or bare-block primer is required. 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 access to a cleared work area before washing, filling and coating.
Outside this stated scope: No garage floor coating, shelving removal or structural crack repair.
Oil contamination or wet masonry changes preparation and product suitability. 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.
