Itemised sprinkler system repair example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 6 entries match the fixture used to make the PDF. Metric surface and length units describe the priced work, not a conversion rule for another property.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone review and fault marking | 1 job | A$217.00 | A$217.00 |
| Sprinkler head allowance | 4 each | A$53.20 | A$212.80 |
| Head replacement labour | 4 each | A$109.20 | A$436.80 |
| Small fitting allowance | 2 each | A$39.20 | A$78.40 |
| Zone operation check | 1 job | A$161.00 | A$161.00 |
| Cleanup and surface reset | 1 job | A$133.00 | A$133.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | A$1,239.00 | ||
Calculation check: 4 each × A$53.20 = A$212.80; 4 each × A$109.20 = A$436.80. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$1,239.00. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Nozzle pattern, connection and head model must suit the existing layout. Replace the fictional head allowance with the chosen parts list.
Outside this example: No controller replacement, valve repair, buried main repair, new trenching or full-system redesign.
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.

Common questions about sprinkler system repair
Can four bad heads be priced as one repair?
They can be grouped if the location and product assumptions match, but a count and unit basis make revisions easier.
Does a head replacement fix low pressure?
Not necessarily. Pressure or buried-line problems need separate diagnosis rather than an implied guarantee.
