The 6-in-1 Contractor Pricing & Job Costing System shows you what to charge before you bid, and what you actually keep after the job is done. No software. No login. No monthly fee.
Busy. Booked. Broke.
You are working six days a week. Phone never stops ringing. Trucks rolling, crews on jobs, materials going out the door.
And somehow, the bank account is still flat.
You look at the deposit, you pay the suppliers, you cut the crew, you cover the truck payment, and there is almost nothing left for you. Again.
You start to wonder if you are running a business or just buying yourself a job. A bad one.
Here is the truth nobody at the supply house wants to say out loud:
If that sounds like you, the problem is not your work ethic. The problem is your numbers. And the good news is, numbers can be fixed.
Most contractors do not lose money on one giant disaster. They lose it in slow drips on every job. Here is where the money is leaking out:
You walk the job, do some math in your head, and quote a number that “feels right.” Feel is not a pricing system. Feel is how you go broke on a Tuesday.
Insurance, fuel, the truck, the phone, software, the office, your own pay. If none of that is in your bid, the customer is not paying for it. You are.
You add 30 percent and call it good. Then the books show 8 percent net. That gap is real money. It is the difference between a vacation and a second mortgage.
You bid the job, win the job, work the job, and never compare what you spent to what you quoted. The only audit happens at tax time, and by then the cash is gone.
The homeowner asks for “one more little thing.” You say yes. You never charge for it. Multiply that by 40 jobs and you just gave away a truck.
You drive back, fix the punch list, eat the labor. None of it shows up in your estimate. None of it shows up in your price. So none of it gets recovered.
Owner pay is not in the bid. So you take what is left, and “what is left” is usually nothing. You are the highest paid laborer in your own company.
The cheap contractor down the road bids lower. You match him. Now you are both losing money, but he is going broke faster. That is not a strategy.
A plain English, plug-and-play spreadsheet bundle that does the math for you. Built by a guy who got tired of watching small contractors get crushed by their own numbers.
You open the file. You type your numbers into the yellow cells. The system tells you what to charge, what your real margin is, and what you actually take home when the job is done.
No software to learn. No monthly fee. No login. Works in Excel, Google Sheets, or on your phone.
Get The System For $197One file. Six calculators. Markup, margin, overhead recovery, labor burden, materials with waste, and a final price builder.
The other half of the equation. Track every job from quote to paid, with estimate vs actual on every line.
A short PDF that walks you through the spreadsheet in under 20 minutes. No fluff, no theory. Just open it and use it.
Type your monthly overhead, your target owner pay, your labor rates, and your billable hours into the setup tab. Takes 15 minutes. You only do this once.
Open the pricing tab. Drop in labor hours, materials, and subs. The sheet adds your overhead and target margin automatically. Out pops your bid price.
As the job runs, log your real hours and real receipts in the job costing tab. The sheet shows you live whether you are on budget or bleeding money.
When the job closes, the dashboard tells you your real profit, your real margin, and where the leaks were. Now you know what to fix on the next bid.
Here is what changes when you stop guessing and start running numbers.
| Before The System | After The System |
|---|---|
| Quote prices on a napkin or in your head. | Quote prices in 10 minutes with real numbers behind them. |
| Add 30 percent markup and hope. | Hit a real margin target every time. |
| Forget overhead, insurance, and your own pay. | Every bill and every paycheck is built into the price. |
| Find out at tax time you lost money. | See profit or loss on the same day the job ends. |
| Race cheap contractors to the bottom. | Walk away from bad jobs without flinching. |
| Change orders done for free. | Change orders tracked, priced, and paid. |
| No idea which jobs make money. | Dashboard shows your best and worst jobs at a glance. |
| Working more, keeping less. | Working the same, keeping a lot more. |
Let us say a homeowner calls you for a bathroom refresh. You walk it, talk it through, and your gut says “around seventy five hundred.” That is what most guys quote. Here is what the spreadsheet says.
Direct cost total: $4,600
Add 30 percent markup. $4,600 plus 30 percent equals $5,980. Round to $6,000. Quote it. Win it. Feel good.
Then reality. Overhead per billable hour at your shop is $22. The job ate 60 billable hours of your business capacity. That is $1,320 in overhead the customer never paid for.
Real profit: $6,000 minus $4,600 minus $1,320 equals $80.
You worked two weeks for $80.
Direct cost $4,600. Plus overhead $1,320. Plus owner pay built in. Plus a 20 percent net margin target. Plus a 10 percent contingency line.
Quoted price: $7,500.
Real net profit after everything: about $1,500. That is the difference between buying yourself a job and running a business.
This is built for small contractors doing real work, not desk jockeys.

$197 sounds like a lot for a spreadsheet. It is not a spreadsheet. It is a profit insurance policy.
Think about the last job where you found out, three weeks later, that you lost money. What did that one cost you? $2,000? $5,000? More?
This system pays for itself the first time it stops you from sending a bad bid. That can happen on the very next quote you send.
Compare it to the other options:
You pay once. You own it. You use it on every job from here on out.
Knowing your number is one thing. Defending it when the homeowner asks “why so much?” is another. That is what the Closer Kit is for.
You get a no-fluff PDF (and an editable DOCX) packed with the exact language to use when you are sitting at the kitchen table and the customer is squinting at your bid.
This bonus is yours free with the system today. Together they are worth more than $600. You pay $197.
Get Everything For $197When you buy the system, here is what you can and cannot do with it.
Full readme and license terms are included in the download.
No. If you can type a number into a yellow cell, you can run this system. The whole thing is built so that you never touch a formula. The yellow cells are where your numbers go. Everything else is locked and does the math for you. The quick start guide walks you through the first setup in plain English, with screenshots. Most contractors are pricing their first job inside of 20 minutes from download. If you can text a customer back, you can run this spreadsheet. And if you ever get stuck, the readme file has the answers to the most common questions in clear language.
Yes. The system was built to cover the trades where small contractors actually live. Roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, remodeling, painting, landscaping, handyman, and general contracting. The 6 in 1 pricing tool lets you set your own labor rates, your own materials, your own overhead, and your own margin target. So whether you bid by the square, by the linear foot, by the hour, or by the project, the math still works. You are not locked into a template built for one trade. You are getting a system flexible enough to fit how you actually bid jobs in the real world.
One time. You pay $197 today, you own the files, and you never get charged again. No monthly fee, no annual renewal, no login that locks you out if your card expires. This is the opposite of the big construction software platforms that bill you $99 to $400 a month forever. You also get free lifetime updates. If we improve the pricing tool or add a new tab to the job costing sheet, you get the new version sent to you at no extra cost. Buy once, use forever, keep your money in your pocket where it belongs.
That is fine. This is not a replacement for your accounting software. QuickBooks is great at recording money that already moved. It is not great at telling you what to charge before you quote a job. This system fills the gap on the front end. You use the pricing tool to build a profitable bid, you use the job costing sheet to track real costs as the work happens, and then you let QuickBooks do its job recording the final numbers. The two tools work together. One looks forward, the other looks back.
Yes. You have 30 days from purchase to ask for a full refund. No forms, no phone calls, no “tell us why” survey. You email us, we refund you, and we part as friends. The reason we can offer this is simple. The contractors who actually open the files and use them for one or two bids almost never ask for their money back, because the system pays for itself fast. If it does not work for you, you do not pay. Plain and simple. That is the deal.
Free templates almost always do one thing. They add up your labor and materials, slap on a markup, and call it a price. That is exactly the math that is making contractors broke. None of the free templates I have seen separate markup from margin, calculate a true overhead recovery rate, build in owner pay, or track estimate vs actual on the back end. They look like a deal until you realize they cost you $5,000 on the next job because the math was wrong. This system is built to fix the specific problems that free templates create.
It works on both. The files are standard spreadsheet format. You can open them in Microsoft Excel on Windows, Excel on Mac, or in Google Sheets in any browser. If you use Google Sheets, you can also pull up the system on your phone in the truck, change a number, and see the new price right there at the customer’s curb. There is no app to install, no special version to buy, no operating system to worry about. If your device can open a spreadsheet, it can run this system.
Most likely yes. Experience teaches you how to do the work. It does not teach you how to price it. I have talked to guys with 30 years in the trade who were still adding 30 percent and calling it a margin. The gap between markup and margin alone costs the average small contractor 15 to 25 thousand dollars a year. If you are already running tight, clean, profitable numbers with overhead and owner pay baked in, great, you do not need this. If you are not sure, the 30 day refund covers you. The risk is on us.
Fair point. Here is the trade. You spend 10 minutes pricing a job inside the tool, or you spend 10 hours on the job site trying to make a bad price work. The setup is a one time thing. After that, each new bid is plug and play. Most users say it is faster than the back of the envelope math they were doing before, because the spreadsheet does the heavy math automatically. 10 minutes upfront to keep thousands in your pocket is one of the best uses of your time you can find. The other option is to keep guessing and stay broke.
The goal of the system is not to make you the highest priced contractor in town. The goal is to make sure every job you win actually pays you. Sometimes that means walking away from a job that cannot support a real price. That is not losing the job. That is dodging a bullet. The other thing it does is help you spot the customers who are not price shoppers, and the Closer Kit gives you the language to defend your bid when someone pushes back. You will win fewer races to the bottom and more of the jobs that actually pay.
Yes. The license covers your business, which means you and the people you employ inside your shop can use it on your jobs. If your spouse runs the books, your office manager builds the bids, or your estimator drops in the numbers, they are all covered. What you cannot do is hand the file to another contractor outside your business or resell it. Inside your own four walls, you are good to go. It often works best when one person on the team owns the setup tab and keeps the overhead and labor rates fresh once a month.
No. The pricing tool is meant to be opened, used, and saved as a fresh quote each time. The job costing spreadsheet is set up to track multiple jobs in one workbook so you can see your whole pipeline at a glance. There is a per job tab and a dashboard that rolls everything up. You do not have to manage a folder full of files for every project. Some users do save a copy of the bid for their records, but it is not required for the system to work. One workbook, many jobs, one dashboard.
Then this is exactly when you need it most. The cheapest time to fix your pricing is before the business gets bigger and the bad bids get bigger with it. A lot of guys wait until they hit a million in revenue to realize they are losing money on half the work. By then, the hole is much deeper. If you are doing $100k a year or $200k a year, putting real numbers behind your bids now means every dollar of growth from here on is profitable growth. Do not wait until the leak is huge.
You can see a different price on your very next bid. The system is not a “wait six months to feel it” kind of tool. The first time you punch in a job and the spreadsheet hands you a number that is 10 to 30 percent higher than what your gut said, you will see right away what you have been giving away. Some guys send out a corrected bid the same day they download the files. The slower part is changing your habit of guessing. But the math part is instant. The next quote you send can be a profitable one.
You are in the majority. Most small contractors do not know their real overhead, which is part of the reason they are broke. The setup tab in the pricing tool walks you through it step by step. Truck, fuel, insurance, phone, software, office, owner pay, and the rest. You type your best honest guess for each one, and the sheet calculates your true hourly overhead rate. You can refine the numbers later. Even a rough first pass is way more accurate than what most guys are using right now, which is nothing.
The second your payment goes through, you get an email with a download link. You click it, the files land on your device, and you can open them right away. There is nothing to ship and no waiting. If your inbox is weird, check your spam folder for the receipt. If you still cannot find it, our support email is in the receipt and we will resend the files. You also get access to any future updates we release at no extra cost, so save the email or your account login on the platform we sell through.
You can keep guessing and hoping. Or you can spend the next 20 minutes building a system that tells you exactly what to charge and exactly what you keep. $197 once. No subscription. 30 day money back. Instant download.
