Itemised post-construction cleaning example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 6 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site walkthrough and setup | 1 job | A$252.00 | A$252.00 |
| Surface dust removal | 130.06 m² | A$9.50 | A$1,235.57 |
| Floor cleaning | 130.06 m² | A$5.50 | A$715.33 |
| Kitchen and bath fixture detail | 3 rooms | A$154.00 | A$462.00 |
| Interior window cleaning | 12 each | A$25.20 | A$302.40 |
| Final walkthrough and cleanup | 1 job | A$203.00 | A$203.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | A$3,170.30 | ||
Calculation check: 130.06 m² × A$9.50 = A$1,235.57; 130.06 m² × A$5.50 = A$715.33. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$3,170.30. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
measured area covers broad dust and floors, while kitchens, baths and windows need their own counts. State whether cabinetry interiors or appliances are included.
Outside this example: No hazardous dust remediation, bulk debris disposal, exterior window cleaning, duct cleaning or cleaning after later trade work.
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.
