2. Standard Rates       FACT SHEET

The most asked question I receive is

 "Where does the secret of estimating lie?".

It is in the establishment of standard rates which will never have to be changed and only modified on a percentage basis related to the degree of difficulty of a job.

* Use the example Standard Rates or build your own.

* Materials and Labour at cost

* Find and Replace product function

* Adjust labour by percentage (+ or -)

* Update prices automatically in just a few minutes

*  Accurate - Consistent - Timesaving
