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
Old sill removal: 3 each × A$140.60 = A$421.80. Sill material allowance: 3 each × A$266.40 = A$799.20. All other lines use the same quantity-by-rate calculation and sum to A$3,270.80. Every fixture line lands on an exact cent, so the native PDF subtotal equals the displayed table total.
Measurement to check: Measure each sill length, projection, material and water-shedding detail. Selection to check: Show matching sill product and sealant or flashing parts separately. 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
Inspect frame support after old sill removal before cutting replacements.
Outside this stated scope: No whole-window replacement, masonry rebuild or concealed wall repair.
Rot inside the frame or wall changes the repair boundary. 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.
