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
Careful wall dismantling: 6.04 m² × A$212.50 = A$1,283.50. Matching units allowance: 6.5 m² × A$394.60 = A$2,564.90. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$8,248.73. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure wall length, height, thickness and salvageable units; inspect the existing footing. Selection to check: Identify new matching units, mortar and coping as product 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
Record protection of neighbouring property and sequence careful dismantling before rebuilding.
Outside this stated scope: No new footing, structural design or work on uninspected adjacent wall.
A failed footing or unstable adjoining wall changes the construction scope. 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.
