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
Filter kit allowance: 1 each × A$621.60 = A$621.60. Tap and connector allowance: 1 set × A$281.20 = A$281.20. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$2,072.00. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure cabinet clearances, pipe arrangement, service access and tap-hole plan. Selection to check: Separate filter kit, tap and connector allowances; note future cartridge service is outside the quote. 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 supply isolation and cabinet space before drilling the counter or fitting the unit.
Outside this stated scope: No whole-house treatment, water quality guarantee or benchtop replacement.
A benchtop that cannot accept the tap needs another product or scope. 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.
