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
Surface cleaning: 298.7 m × A$4.50 = A$1,344.15. Line application: 298.7 m × A$13.50 = A$4,032.45. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$7,906.62. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Count bays, measure total line length and identify symbols, arrows and accessible bays separately. Selection to check: State marking paint or thermoplastic system and whether layout changes are included. 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
Plan vehicle exclusion, surface drying and reopening with the site manager.
Outside this stated scope: No asphalt repair, traffic-management plan for public roads or new signs.
Failed pavement or changed traffic layout requires separate preparation or design. 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.
