3. Fully customisable labour and plant rates

  • EstimatorXpress comes set up with all labour and plant costs built-in. It's just a 10 minute job to update the prices to the rates you pay. We know that labour rates can vary significantly within any one town, city or area and so it's important that you have the flexibility to easily update the rates to reflect your business.

  • Choose to pay your men on day rates, hourly, per unit - the choice is yours!

Amending your labour price book is a quick 10 minute job. Just highlight the labour resource and confirm how much you pay them – then every job will use your rates for complete accuracy. You can use either an hourly rate, day rate – or simply priced work. You choose.
