Calculation check: 55.74 m² × A$34.50 = A$1,923.03; 55.74 m² × A$25.00 = A$1,393.50. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,849.53. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Deep damage, loose boards and prior coatings may affect scope. The sample includes only a minor filler allowance and assumes the floor is suitable for sanding.
Outside this example: No board replacement, floor levelling, stain-colour change, furniture moving or guaranteed removal of deep damage.
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.
