Or try it on the web →This window replacement quote template is for glaziers doing residential jobs, from single swaps to whole-house refits. Most quotes get the new window price right but lose money on two things: the labour for making good on internal plaster and architraves, and the real cost of disposing of old frames and glass. This template helps you price those items correctly so your final figure covers the whole job, not just the new unit. Getting the details straight means you price fairly, protect your margin, and avoid arguments with the client when the job is done.
How to Price Labour and Materials for a Window Swap
Your main costs are the window unit and your time. A standard 1200x1200mm aluminium window from a supplier like Stegbar or Bradnams might cost $450-$600 plus GST. Labour is the biggest variable. A simple swap in a brick veneer home takes 2-3 hours. If it's a second-storey job or a difficult opening, budget 4-5 hours. At an $90/hour rate, that’s a big difference. Add consumables like a tube of SikaFlex PRO sealant ($25 at Bunnings) and flashing tape. Always add a 10% contingency on materials. Your base cost for that single window swap is closer to $800 before you add your margin.
What Gets Left Off a Window Replacement Quote
Forgetting disposal fees is the most common mistake. A trip to the tip with old frames and glass can cost $80-$150. Second is access equipment. If the window is on an upper floor, you'll need to quote for scaffold or scissor lift hire, which can be $300+ per day. Third is making good. Clearly state if your price includes patching and painting internal plaster reveals and architraves. If not, specify that it's the client's responsibility. Finally, always note that the installation complies with Australian Standard AS 2047, which covers things like structural integrity and water penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom-sized windows typically cost 25-50% more from the manufacturer than a standard size. You should also add at least two extra hours of labour to your quote for the careful installation and finishing they require. Make sure you get a confirmed price and lead time from your supplier, like A&L Windows, before you send the final quote to the customer.
Yes, if any part of the window is over two metres from the ground, you need a safe work platform. List scaffold hire as a separate line item. A small mobile tower from a hire place like Kennards can cost $150-$250 for a day. If you don't quote it, that cost comes directly out of your profit. It's a non-negotiable safety item.
The installation must comply with AS 2047. This involves installing flexible flashing tape around the entire window opening before the frame goes in, especially in brick veneer. Relying just on a bead of sealant is not enough and will lead to leaks. Use a quality product like Grace Vycor Plus flashing tape to meet the National Construction Code requirements.
