Field notes
The toolkit separates business costs that are often collapsed into a single hourly figure: overhead recovery, labour burden, materials, contingency, and target margin. Its example work ticket uses 32 labour hours and distinguishes a $4,634 break-even floor from a $6,620 quote, while the estimate builder adds deposit, balance, terms, and signature fields. The homepage also includes trade-rate ranges and a sensitivity table for hourly-rate planning.
