Calculation check: 46.45 m² × A$12.00 = A$557.40; 51.1 m² × A$45.20 = A$2,309.72. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$5,584.84. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
The sample allows 51.1 m² for a 46.45 m² installation. That extra 4.65 m² is a planning assumption for this layout. Recheck the quantity against plank direction, cuts, cartons and the product selected by the customer.
Outside this example: No structural subfloor repair, moisture remediation, stairs, appliance relocation or major levelling.
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.
