Check the arithmetic
Broken glass removal: 1 each × A$532.80 = A$532.80. Glazing product allowance: 6.04 m² × A$876.25 = A$5,292.55. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$11,131.26. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure visible opening and rebate, glazing specification, access and temporary security need. Selection to check: Separate glass fabrication, temporary boarding and glazing labour. 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
Secure the opening, confirm glass specification and supplier lead time before fitting.
Outside this stated scope: No shopfront frame replacement, automatic door repair or emergency call-out guarantee.
Frame damage or a non-standard glazing system changes the 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.
