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 door removal: 1 each × A$676.80 = A$676.80. Door unit allowance: 1 each × A$4,794.00 = A$4,794.00. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$9,150.90. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure opening in several positions, wall thickness, threshold height and access route. Selection to check: Separate the selected door unit, flashing and finish trim. 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 delivery and weather protection before removing the existing unit.
Outside this stated scope: No structural opening enlargement, adjacent deck repair or concealed wall repair.
Rotten sill framing or opening-size change adds work beyond replacement. 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.
