Quoting work that actually makes money
Why good tradies lose money on good jobs — and how to price so the work pays what you thought it would.
About this course
Most jobs that lose money weren't priced wrong. They were scoped wrong, or written up in a way that let the scope grow for free. This course covers the site visit, the costs that quietly eat margin, how to put your hourly rate together honestly, and how to present a quote so the conversation is about scope instead of the total. It's for anyone who quotes their own work — first-year sole trader or an owner with a crew.
