Synthetic preview

Catch a low bid before it becomes recurring work.

This fictional 20,000-square-foot example assumes 2,500 square feet per labor hour, five weekly visits, US$28 loaded labor cost, and a 25% target margin.

Current bid	Labor hours / visit	Monthly visits	Operating cost	Required price	Bid margin	Result
US$7,000	8.00	21.67	US$6,436.67	US$8,582.22	8.0%	Below 25% target

The result is only as reliable as the entered scope, production rate, loaded labor cost, and recurring costs. A margin is not the same as a markup.
