Method & pricing approach

We follow the same steps on every project, so the drawings end up as documented figures you can base a decision on.

Rate build-up

You see what goes into the price and can change the percentages

M Materials
L Labour
E Equipment
= Direct cost
+ % Indirect costs
+ % Profit
= Sell price

We build every item with live Excel formulas and never type a value into a result cell. Change any percentage and the item and the total update in front of you.

Where every figure comes from

Three labels shown next to every significant figure

Verified From a drawing or specification actually read, with drawing number and page.

Benchmark From a named, dated price source or standard.

Estimate From first principles where no document exists, stated explicitly.
