Labour is the number people guess and then regret. This builds it properly: who, how long, at what rate, plus the travel and setup that never make it into the estimate.
What's Included
- A rate per role with a loaded cost, not just the hourly wage.
- Crew size and duration separated, so a two-day two-person job prices correctly.
- Travel and setup time as their own lines rather than an optimistic rounding.
- An assistant that compares your estimate to what similar jobs actually took.
How To Use
- Use a loaded rate that includes on-costs. The bare wage undercharges every time.
- Estimate crew and duration separately or you will conflate them.
- Price travel honestly. Two hours on the road is two hours nobody is earning.
- Log actual hours afterwards and let the app correct your instinct.
Combine it with the material takeoff for a full job cost, and record the real hours with time tracking prompts.
