Price Every Job Right
Price a job without knowing all four costs actually baked into it and you can look busy all year while quietly eroding your margin on every single sale. Learn to stack all four into one number and every quote you send protects the margin it's supposed to. Get this wrong and "we're flat out" stops meaning profitable - it just means busy losing money slower.
- 1.The Four Costs Hiding in Every PriceWhy "about what it usually costs, plus a bit" is where your profit disappears.
- 2.Your Real Hourly Rate (Not the One You Guess)The two numbers almost nobody counts properly - and both are quietly eating your profit.
- 3.Contingency, Margin and GST - In That OrderWhy margin belongs on top of your true cost, never just on top of material.
- 4.Build Your NumbersWrite down a first draft of your six numbers - Unit Price Engine will use these as your starting settings.
- 5.Quick CheckA few questions to lock in what you just covered.
- 6.Turn This Into a Real PriceA faster way to build your price list than doing the maths by hand.
