Understanding your Ausco Invoice

Applied to a complete month, a fixed monthly rate as quoted is applied regardless of the number of days within the applicable month.

Applied to an incomplete or part month, a daily rate is applied to the hire period charged (number of days on hire). Typically, this charge will be used on your first hire invoice and your last invoice or credit note.  The daily rate is calculated from the Monthly rate using the calculation. DAILY RATE = (Monthly Rate) X (0.0328). 

Used for one-off charges such as Transport, Installation or cleaning.

You may have noticed Weekly Rates as well as Monthly Rates on our quote, a weekly rate is provided for ease of comparison with the market only, it is not used in our invoicing. The calculation of the weekly rate on the Hire Quote is as follows: WEEKLY RATE = (Monthly Rate X (0.0328) X 7 (Days in a week)

Ausco Modular hire charges are invoiced in advance on the first of each month, the exception to this is your first hire invoice which will be issued to you in the days following the delivery of your building(s). Hire is invoiced from the day of delivery to the end of the current month, calculated using a daily rate. 
Invoices will follow monthly, issued in advance on the 1st of the month for the full month, calculated using a monthly rate. 

When your building(s) are returned you will receive a credit note, issued from the day after the building is returned to the end of the current month, calculated using a daily rate.

Being a modular building company many of our products are made up of many modules “complexed” or joined together to form one building, these are referred to as complex floors. Complexes will appear on your quote as a complete building rate. As each module is delivered individually and complexed together on site we also invoice per module, to help you identify all the modules that make up your building each module will be referenced, all you need to do is add them together. 

To help understand this, there is an example of an invoice with an explanation of all its elements at the base of this page. All amounts and rates quoted are for illustrative purposes only. To help reconcile your own invoice, look out for the text in green on the invoice example pages, this tells you how it all adds up.

Ausco Modular Definition of Damage: Ausco Modular expects that all goods are returned in a good and reasonable condition - fair wear and tear excepted. We also offer some tips on how to avoid post-hire charges when the time comes to return the buildings. You can find all of this information in our Definition of Damage brochure.   

On return of your building, it is inspected for any damage or missing ancillary items.  If anything is identified or missing, details will be noted, we will take a few photos and send them to you via an Equipment Damage Advice or Equipment Shortage Advice Notice.

Charges for damaged items will be issued on a Damage Invoice and missing items invoiced per individual lost item.  

A standard cleaning charge applies to all returned buildings and goods. Any excess cleaning charges will apply when the need for specialised cleaning products or methods are required to return the product to a re-hirable state.
