Answer it the way Andy sizes a job. Hit Build takeoff and it fills the line items — then fine-tune on Build. Nothing here is locked.
Remodels, service calls, punch work. Stands alone. Constants: the $63 loaded labor baseline and product cost. The two MU dials here are Service-only — they don’t touch house bids. Hours cover the whole visit; parts come off the same catalog as a house.
| Item | Qty | $ / ea (cost) | Hrs / ea | Line (cost) |
|---|
Custom or one-off items go on the ③ Custom Additions tab — they flow into this price.
Set quantities; edit any $/ea if Andy got a better price. This builds the Suggested Price — — labor hours plus material, plus markup. The Agreed Price is set on the ④ Reconcile tab. Amber fields are editable.
Living & garage are per sq ft. Line $ = material + our labor.
One-off items that aren't in the standard takeoff — extra cans, a sub-panel, a custom fixture. Each row is priced the same way the rest of the bid is: (Cost + Hours × loaded rate) × (1 + Markup %). Everything here rolls straight into the ② Build totals and the ④ Reconcile break-even, so the Suggested Price, hours and material already include it. Every line is approved and logged. Andy's own hours count as cost — a loss buried under free labor is still a loss.

Material is a fixed cost — we can't change what the parts cost. Everything else is labor. The Agreed Price minus material is the labor it funds. Break-even = the start (our cost). Adjusted = the finish (what the Agreed Price funds).

The Suggested-Price hours and the Agreed-Price hours both pull from the job. At the job's end, enter actuals — the tool says who was closer and tightens over jobs. Save keeps the log.
