Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 6 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Existing skirting board removal | 54.86 m | A$3.00 | A$164.58 |
| Skirting board material allowance | 60.35 m | A$9.20 | A$555.22 |
| Cutting and installation labour | 54.86 m | A$12.50 | A$685.75 |

Calculation check: 54.86 m × A$3.00 = A$164.58; 60.35 m × A$9.20 = A$555.22. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$1,834.99. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Height, profile and material affect the purchasing list. This example includes 60.35 m of material for 54.86 m installed. Check available stock lengths and cutting layout instead of treating that difference as a rule for every job.
Outside this example: No final painting, major wall repair, custom millwork, furniture moving or door-casing replacement.
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 skirting board and trim
Is skirting board estimated in square metres?
The trim itself is normally described by linear length. A room’s floor area does not directly tell you the skirting board length, so measure the included wall runs.
Does installing skirting board include painting?
Only if the quote says so. State filling, sealing, priming and finish painting individually or define the combined scope clearly.
