Measurement to check: Measure net lawn area, soil depth, slope and obstacles; purchased turf may exceed laid area. Selection to check: Show turf rolls and imported topsoil separately from preparation labour. The PDF uses a 0% tax input only to make its fictional arithmetic visible.

Assumptions and exclusions Confirm irrigation access and delivery day before final grading and laying. Outside this stated scope: No automatic irrigation, long-term maintenance or retaining work. Contaminated fill, drainage faults or unsuitable soil require further work. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, revised allowance or separately agreed task.
