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
Pocket frame allowance: 1 each × A$935.00 = A$935.00. Door and hardware allowance: 1 set × A$1,045.00 = A$1,045.00. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$5,211.25. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure opening, wall thickness, travel space and hidden service routes. Selection to check: Identify pocket frame, door leaf and hardware separately. 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 wall construction and services before opening the partition.
Outside this stated scope: No structural wall alteration, electrical relocation or whole-room repainting.
Load-bearing framing or pipes inside the pocket zone require redesign. 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.
