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 clean-out: 36.58 m × A$12.50 = A$457.25. Guard product allowance: 39.01 m × A$54.00 = A$2,106.54. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$4,525.82. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure accessible gutter length, corners and outlet count; profile compatibility matters. Selection to check: List guard product and end or corner pieces separately from 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
Clean and test the gutter before fitting the guard so blockages are not hidden.
Outside this stated scope: No gutter replacement, roof repair or promise of maintenance-free operation.
Loose or poorly sloped guttering requires repair before the guard is installed. 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.
