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
Old covering removal: 204.39 m² × A$23.00 = A$4,700.97. Underlay allowance: 204.39 m² × A$12.00 = A$2,452.68. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$27,986.62. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure each roof plane, pitch, edges, penetrations and access; purchasing area differs from projected floor area. Selection to check: Separate covering, underlay, flashings and ventilation allowances. 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
Document safe access, weather protection and a staged tear-off before scheduling.
Outside this stated scope: No roof-framing replacement, solar array removal or concealed rot repair.
Unsound decking or hidden water damage requires a revised structural repair line. 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.
