The estimating problem every contractor knows
You have been burned before.
Estimated too low because you were put on the spot.
Lost the bid to someone faster, while you took three days to "run the numbers."
Guessed at a price and regretted it for months.
You do not actually know what each job costs you
You know what you charge. You know what your competitors charge. But do you know YOUR costs? Your mower's hourly running cost? How long that 800m² lawn actually takes?
Without that, you are not estimating. You are gambling.
“I don't give a price on the spot. In the past I've under quoted due to a bit of anxiety.”
“Been a few times where I have quoted on the spot and since regretted it for going too low.”
How it works

Step 2: Know your costs
