Supply, deposits and per-m² pricing
Most flooring jobs involve ordering material in, so take a deposit to cover supply before you order. Invoice the deposit, then subtract it on the final invoice — see our deposit invoice guide. Quoting and invoicing per square metre keeps things transparent — show the area on the invoice.
What needs to be on a flooring tax invoice in Australia?
