Itemised sump pump 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.

| Pit access and protection | 1 job | A$161.00 | A$161.00 |
| Existing pump removal | 1 each | A$182.00 | A$182.00 |

Calculation check: 1 job × A$161.00 = A$161.00; 1 each × A$182.00 = A$182.00. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$1,694.00. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
State the chosen pump or a clearly labelled allowance. Verify the product against the actual installation and customer requirements rather than using a universal pump price.
Outside this example: No new pit, discharge-route change, electrical circuit repair, waterproofing work or guarantee against future water entry.
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.

Common questions about sump pump replacement
Does a pump estimate include waterproofing?
Only if it is separately scoped. Replacing one pump does not price foundation or drainage repairs.
Should the discharge line be measured?
Yes if it is being changed. This example reuses a suitable existing route and only allows connection fittings.
