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
Island cabinet allowance: 1 set × A$1,543.75 = A$1,543.75. Cabinet assembly: 8 hours × A$80.27 = A$642.16. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$4,310.10. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure circulation clearances, island footprint, door swing and the floor fixing zone. Selection to check: Show cabinet, benchtop and hardware allowances separately so selections can be changed without repricing 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
Confirm delivery route and assembled dimensions before booking installation.
Outside this stated scope: No plumbing, electrical work, floor replacement or structural alteration.
An uneven floor or a newly requested electrical outlet changes anchoring and trade 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.
