Itemised pressure washing example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup and surface protection | 1 job | A$105.00 | A$105.00 |
| Driveway cleaning | 74.32 m² | A$3.25 | A$241.54 |
| Walkway cleaning | 18.58 m² | A$4.00 | A$74.32 |
| Limited spot-treatment allowance | 1 job | A$63.00 | A$63.00 |
| Final rinse and cleanup | 1 job | A$49.00 | A$49.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | A$532.86 | ||
Calculation check: 74.32 m² × A$3.25 = A$241.54; 18.58 m² × A$4.00 = A$74.32. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$532.86. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Break the job into rectangles or other measured areas and keep a clear takeoff. Separate driveways from walkways when their access or rates differ. State whether steps, curbs and edges are included rather than leaving them implied.
Outside this example: No sealing, painted or timber surfaces, hazardous-substance removal, restoration of damaged concrete or guaranteed complete stain removal.
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 pressure washing
Should I include setup in a small cleaning estimate?
Account for it somewhere in the price. A separate, described setup line can make small-job pricing easier to understand.
Does pressure washing include sealing?
Only when explicitly scoped. Cleaning and applying a sealer are different services and should not be silently combined.
