Whose rates are pricing your jobs?
Set what you pay once; every quote and every buy list starts there, and it keeps what you change.
The challenge
A stranger’s. Published rates are an average of everyone; your men, your suppliers and your patch are not average, so a quote built on averages is wrong on nearly every line, and not by the same amount each time.
Why Structa
Set what you pay per hour and per material once and every quote uses it instead of a published rate; the published rate stands in only where you have set nothing. Each line says which it used, and the buy list is at your supplier’s price where you have set one. What you change is kept, so the next quote starts at your number.
On one job
The garden job’s labour, by grade, costed on published rates, before any of your own were set:
- craft: 77.01 hours at £35.16 an hour, £2,707.67
- skilled: 28.37 hours at £31.04 an hour, £880.46
- general: 19.97 hours at £25.55 an hour, £510.13
