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 sign removal: 1 each × A$345.80 = A$345.80. New panel allowance: 1 each × A$1,543.75 = A$1,543.75. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$3,630.90. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure fascia opening, fixing centres, sign weight and safe access height. Selection to check: Separate sign fabrication, mount hardware and installation equipment. 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
Approve artwork and confirm owner or landlord permissions before fabrication.
Outside this stated scope: No electrical work, structural fascia rebuild or approval guarantee.
Weak supports or a request for illumination adds a new design and trade scope. 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.
