Estimating & Pricing Worksheet
An internal estimating worksheet that builds a price from the ground up — labor, equipment and direct costs, then overhead, contingency and margin — so you stop pricing by gut.

List labor (climber, ground crew, PHC tech), equipment (chipper, truck, crane, stump grinder) and other direct costs like disposal and subcontractors, with quantities and unit costs. The sheet totals direct cost, then adds overhead allocation, contingency and your target margin to reach a quoted price.
Built-in pricing basics remind you to cover overhead first, never price at cost-plus-nothing, aim for a deliberate net margin (many firms target 15–30%), and price the risk on big removals near targets. It's an internal worksheet, not a client quote.
