The org rule is:QLeave 0.575% (QLD, jobs > $150k ex GST) must alwaysappear as a §2 Prelims line inside the contract sum —never billed separately.At a sell total of $344,126 the levy should be 0.575% ×$344,126 ≈ $1,979.

Faster estimates. Better quotes. Real jobs won.

80–90%less time on estimates, take-offs and ball parks

“Since starting with Base I have cut almost 80–90% of my time down from providing clients estimates, take-offs and ‘ball parks’.”

“It knows the rates, it knows the sizes and inclusions, so I am providing a much more accurate and built-out estimate. It can also produce a job schedule within minutes, which has successfully allowed me to move to the next stage with two large projects.”

Marko JelinicGeneral Manager · Total Fitouts North Brisbane
