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
Pane cleaning: 12 each × A$30.87 = A$370.44. Film allowance: 17.19 m² × A$106.00 = A$1,822.14. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$5,178.41. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure each glass pane, orientation and access; check glass type and any manufacturer restrictions. Selection to check: Separate film product grade, preparation and fitting labour. 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 film compatibility and do a representative pane before the full installation.
Outside this stated scope: No window replacement, blind installation or guaranteed energy-saving figure.
Damaged glazing or unsuitable glass can exclude a pane from the base 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.
