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
Finish floor lifting: 14.86 m² × A$43.50 = A$646.41. Damaged sheet removal: 14.86 m² × A$57.50 = A$854.45. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$4,407.11. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure the opened area, sheet layout, joist spacing and access route; record why the existing sheet failed. Selection to check: Separate sheet material, blocking and fasteners from removal and fitting 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
Confirm moisture source and framing condition after lifting before ordering the final sheet count.
Outside this stated scope: No finished floor installation, joist replacement or moisture-source repair.
Rotten joists or continuing moisture requires a new repair design. 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.
