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
Upper cabinet allowance: 3 each × A$355.20 = A$1,065.60. Cabinet hanging hardware: 1 set × A$155.40 = A$155.40. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$3,522.43. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure appliance clearances, wall studs, door swing and usable counter length. Selection to check: Separate cabinet, surface and fixing allowances from installation 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 appliances can be moved or protected and that ventilation and access remain usable.
Outside this stated scope: No appliance purchase, plumbing move, electrical alterations or floor works.
Hidden pipe or cable routes may require an adjusted fixing plan. 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.
