Itemised paver walkway installation example

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.

Paver walkway installation example — AUD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Layout and protection | 1 job | A$294.00 | A$294.00 |

Excavation and spoil handling allowance | 16.72 m² | A$105.50 | A$1,763.96 |

Base and bedding material allowance | 1 job | A$1,148.00 | A$1,148.00 |

Paver material allowance | 18.39 m² | A$113.00 | A$2,078.07 |

Paver laying labour | 16.72 m² | A$165.75 | A$2,771.34 |

Edge restraint | 21.95 m | A$23.00 | A$504.85 |

Final sand and cleanup | 1 job | A$343.00 | A$343.00 |

Subtotal / example total | A$8,903.22 |

Calculation check: 16.72 m² × A$105.50 = A$1,763.96; 18.39 m² × A$113.00 = A$2,078.07. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$8,903.22. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.

Assumptions and scope boundaries

The sample assumes a suitable pedestrian route. Changes to drainage, roots or unsuitable soil need a site-specific design and separate price.

Outside this example: No drainage redesign, unsuitable-soil stabilization, retaining wall, lighting or vehicle-rated pavement.

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 paver walkway installation

Why are paver purchase and installed areas different?

Cut pieces and stock packaging can change purchasing. Show the assumption and revise it for the actual layout and product.

Can walkway area price edging?

No. Measure the length of edges that need restraint from the path layout.
