Itemised interior stair tread replacement example
Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 7 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stair measurement and protection | 1 job | A$252.00 | A$252.00 |
| Existing tread removal | 8 each | A$77.00 | A$616.00 |
| New tread material allowance | 8 each | A$175.00 | A$1,400.00 |
| Tread fitting and installation | 8 each | A$210.00 | A$1,680.00 |

Calculation check: 8 each × A$77.00 = A$616.00; 8 each × A$175.00 = A$1,400.00. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,788.00. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
The example assumes suitable stringers and risers. Squeaks, movement or rot should be assessed and priced before presenting a cosmetic replacement as complete.
Outside this example: No stringer repair, railing alteration, full staircase rebuild, finish painting or staining.
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.
