Frequently asked questions

Is the survey fee proposal template free?

Yes. Fill in and print a proposal without an account or payment. The small BackSight footer is optional.

Where is my proposal saved?

The draft is saved only in this browser on this device, when browser storage is available. Nothing you enter is sent to BackSight. Clear draft removes the saved copy.

How is GST calculated?

Each quantity times rate is rounded to cents first. For prices excluding GST, 10% is added to the subtotal. For prices including GST, GST is one eleventh of the total. Tax is rounded once to the nearest cent, with halves rounded up.

Can I save a PDF or change the scope?

Yes. Edit the scope, assumptions and terms, then choose Print / Save as PDF and select your browser’s PDF destination. Check the preview before sharing; long proposals can use more than one A4 page.
