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-rail allowance: 9.14 m × A$129.50 = A$1,183.63. Cabinet allowance: 3 each × A$451.20 = A$1,353.60. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$7,536.82. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure clear wall runs, floor slope, door sweep and storage loads. Selection to check: Separate selected cabinets, shelf rails and benchtop from fitting 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
Lay out storage at full scale before fixing to suitable backing.
Outside this stated scope: No electrical work, floor coating or structural wall reinforcement.
Hidden services or insufficient backing change anchors and cabinet positions. 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.
