Itemised occupied office repainting costs

These 7 AUD lines reproduce the native app export. Furniture protection is measured as 4 room; Wall preparation uses 16 hours. Some lines are measured work while others are a product or site-task allowance. Read the unit before reusing the structure for a different job.

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

Furniture protection: 4 room × A$165.10 = A$660.40. Wall preparation: 16 hours × A$66.04 = A$1,056.64. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$7,440.23. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.

Measurement to check: Measure each room wall area, doors, fixed equipment and the usable work window. Selection to check: State paint products, colour changes and whether low-odour requirements affect selection. 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

Stage one room at a time and document who moves desks and returns access.

Outside this stated scope: No ceiling repaint, data cabling move or overnight security provision.

Restricted access or additional preparation can add visits. 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.
