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
Repair labour: 4 hours × A$133.95 = A$535.80. Leak and isolation check: 1 job × A$204.45 = A$204.45. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$1,818.90. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Record pipe material, diameter, leak location and access dimensions; distinguish visible from concealed sections. Selection to check: Choose compatible repair fittings after identifying the pipe and isolate finish repair as a separate line. 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
Shut off water, expose the joint, repair and test before closing access.
Outside this stated scope: No whole-house repiping, water-damage restoration or hidden leak tracing.
Multiple leaks or corrosion extending beyond the opening trigger a new 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.
