Stop Quoting Jobs Using Guesswork

If you are pricing your trade jobs based on a gut feeling, you are likely missing out on profit or scaring away clients with high estimates. Start by tracking your actual material and labour costs on every project to see where the money is really going. Use these figures to build a consistent markup that covers your overheads and guarantees you actually walk away with a wage. Getting your pricing structure right today will stop you from working for free on the next big job.
