Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 7 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.

Calculation check: 7.62 m × A$174.50 = A$1,329.69. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$8,329.69. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Record mounting surfaces, access and the proposed refrigerant line route. A 7.62 m illustrative allowance is only useful when it corresponds to an agreed path.
Outside this example: No electrical service upgrade, new structural support, long-route allowance beyond 7.62 m, wall restoration or unlisted approval fees.
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 split-system air-conditioner installation
Is a split-system air-conditioner estimate just an equipment price?
No. Locations, route, mounting, electrical readiness, installation and commissioning also need defined scope.
Can I use the example refrigerant line length on my job?
Measure the proposed route. The 7.62 m quantity is fictional and should be replaced with the actual takeoff.
