What to put on a plumber quote
Quote the certificate, not just the job
In Victoria, work over $750 (materials, labour and GST included) needs a compliance certificate, and so does gas appliance work at any value. Listing it on the quote shows the customer it's included and why it's there.
Spell out the exclusions
Electrical connection, tiling, making good: say what isn't in the price. It's the usual reason a plumbing quote turns into a dispute.
Deposits for ordered units
If you're ordering a hot water unit or fixtures, a deposit that covers them is normal. Put the amount in the terms so it's agreed before you order.
The starting lines are examples with no prices: add your own rates. Rules checked October 2026; they can change, so check your state's regulator for anything that matters.
