FAQ
Should burden and overhead be included in labor per unit?
Best practice: store fully-burdened labor (wages + taxes + insurance + benefits) per unit. Apply overhead and profit markup separately at the bid level so your unit prices stay portable across projects.
How often should I update the price book?
Material lines: at least quarterly, or any time a supplier sends a new quote. Labor lines: when wages or burden change, typically annually. The "Last updated" column is your reminder of staleness.
Can I import from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Save the spreadsheet as CSV with columns description, category, unit, labor, material — then paste the rows into the bulk-add textarea. One row per line.
What if a unit price has no material (or no labor)?
Leave it at zero. A subcontracted line might have only material (the sub price), and an hourly labor line might have only labor. Total still computes correctly.
