You're Leaving Money on Every Job

Maybe you write estimates on the hood of your truck. Maybe you've got a spreadsheet that your buddy set up five years ago. Either way — you're losing money and you know it.

📝

"I'll figure out the price later"

You start the job before the price is set. Now you're negotiating against yourself — and the client knows it.

🤷

"Markup? Margin? Same thing right?"

Wrong. A 30% markup gives you 23% margin. That 7% gap is thousands of dollars a year you didn't know you were losing.

🔨

"We'll just eat the extras"

Rot behind the wall. The client changing their mind. The material that went up 20% since you quoted. Every surprise eats your profit.

💸

"I can't charge that much"

You can. You're just not pricing your real costs — overhead, non-billable time, insurance, the truck, the tools. They all have a price.

📊

"My spreadsheet is a mess"

Formulas from 2019. Material prices from who-knows-when. No markup calculator. No clean output you'd actually show a client.

"Estimating takes too long"

So you rush it. Miss items. Underprice. Win the job and lose money. The slow way is actually faster — when you have a system.

What Contractors Are Saying

★★★★★

"I was charging $55/hour thinking I was making good money. The pricing guide showed me my real rate should be $95. I about fell off my chair. This kit paid for itself on the very next estimate."

Mike T. — Electrician, Edmonton
★★★★★

"The spreadsheet spec is worth the whole kit. I had my assistant build it in Google Sheets in one afternoon. First estimate I ran with it was $4,200 higher than my old method would have produced — because I wasn't forgetting anything."

Carlos R. — General Contractor, Denver
★★★★★

"The change order form alone has saved me from three disputes this month. Clients respect the process when it's professional. I used to just eat the extras — now I get paid for them."

Sarah K. — Plumber, Calgary

Questions? Answered.

Is this for Canadian or US contractors?
Both. All pricing reference data includes Canadian (CAD) and US (USD) numbers. The templates reference both Canadian (WCB, GST/HST) and US (W9, sales tax) requirements. The estimating spreadsheet works in any currency.
Do I need to be good with spreadsheets?
The estimating spreadsheet specification tells you exactly what to put in every cell, every formula, every tab. If you can type in a Google Sheet, you can build this. Or delegate it to someone who can — it's designed to be built in an afternoon.
What trades does the pricing data cover?
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, general construction, painting, and landscaping. We include realistic 2026 material unit costs and service pricing ranges for each trade. It's a starting point — you should verify with local quotes — but it beats guessing.
What's the difference between this and the Scope Creep Kit?
The Scope Creep Kit ($47) is for freelancers and consultants — designers, developers, copywriters, marketers. This kit is specifically for contractors and tradespeople — electricians, plumbers, HVAC, general contractors, painters. Different business, different documents, different pricing.
Can I use the proposal template right away?
Yes. It's fill-in-the-blank with examples for every section. Open it, fill in your project details, and send it. Same for the change order form and invoice template.
What's the guarantee?
30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If the kit doesn't help you estimate more accurately and make more money, email us and we'll refund you. We've never had a request.

One Underpriced Job Costs More
Than This Entire Kit

If this kit helps you price even ONE job correctly instead of guessing, it pays for itself. If it helps you stop eating change orders, it pays for itself 10 times over.
