Check the arithmetic
Old grout removal: 20.44 m² × A$64.50 = A$1,318.38. Joint cleaning: 20.44 m² × A$25.75 = A$526.33. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$3,739.09. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure grout joint length or floor area with tile size and joint width noted. Selection to check: Specify grout product and colour, and state whether sealer is selected. 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
Test a small section for tile edge condition before mechanical removal.
Outside this stated scope: No tile replacement, substrate repair or guaranteed colour match to adjacent rooms.
Loose tiles or moisture beneath the floor need separate repair. 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.
