Include removal of the existing floating floor, a measured 51.1 sq m plank material allowance, installation, minor preparation allowance, three transitions and 30.5 metres of scotia finishing trim. The written scope is the boundary of the example: a customer should be able to match each planned task to a line in the document, and see where a product choice or hidden condition still needs checking.

What this example assumes
The sample allows 51.1 sq m for a measured 46.5 sq m installation. That extra 4.6 sq m is a planning assumption for this layout. Recheck the quantity against plank direction, cuts, cartons and the product selected by the customer.
Work outside the example: No structural subfloor repair, moisture remediation, stairs, appliance relocation or major levelling.
The quantity basis matters. Where a product allowance differs from an installation quantity, the difference reflects this fictional layout or purchase plan and must be checked against the selected product. Existing conditions, safe access and any necessary approvals remain project decisions. Agree how changed measurements or discoveries will be recorded and priced before extra work begins.

Common questions
Should waste be included in flooring labour?
Explain the measurement basis. In this example, the purchase allowance exceeds the installed area, while installation labour uses the measured 46.5 sq m.
How should I quote unknown subfloor repairs?
Describe the preparation included in the base scope, then identify additional repairs as a separate scope decision after inspection.
