The situation

What has happened

Sunita and Raj Patel met the Events Manager last week to plan a sixtieth birthday celebration at their Glen Waverley home on Saturday 5 December 2026 (EV-26-097). The design brief in the Event Brief Register asks for lush marigold and rose garlands for the entry and stage, a floral stage backdrop, and two entry arrangements, in saffron, orange, deep pink and green, with cultural requirements noted about the garland style and the use of specific flowers. The budget range is two to three thousand dollars. Fresh marigolds are variable in early December and the Buying and Stock Coordinator has suggested a priced alternative. The procedure requires the quotation within five business days and Events Manager approval before it is sent.

Your brief. Interpret the design brief, price every item from the cost sheet with the standard markup, labour, delivery, installation and bump out shown separately, include a priced alternative for marigolds, apply the terms and deposit schedule, and present a quotation ready for the Events Manager to approve.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Check that every item is priced from cost with the markup applied correctly, that labour, delivery, installation and hire are separate lines, that GST is shown, that the cultural requirements from the brief are respected in the design descriptions, that the marigold alternative is priced and explained, and that the terms and deposit schedule follow the procedure. The covering note should show sound judgement about risk.
