Count the collection trip before you quote the installation.
Review the complete installation lifecycle: materials, reusable equipment allocation, helpers, setup, delivery and collection. Compare the customer price with the cost of your whole working day.
Fictional examples. Your entries are not submitted or saved. Workbook purchase availability is checked before checkout.
InstallMargin example
A fictional $600 installation includes six owner hours, two helper hours and a separate collection trip. The sample rates do not recommend a price for your area.
From an example to your own records.
Designed for desktop Microsoft Excel. One original workbook, a worked example, a reusable plan and a completed-work log, plus a concise guide.
The download adds a materials recipe, deposit balance and independent actual-job records to the installation planning workflow. Copy material totals into the plan as values; the workbook does not import the free calculator scenario.
