A COST BASIS YOU CAN EXPLAIN

Every bag, bead
and working hour.

Enter wall and ceiling areas, bead lengths and your own material, labour, hire and subcontract rates. Make waste, discounts, overhead allowances and tax assumptions explicit.

Each quote keeps its rate sources and version. The customer PDF shows the agreed scope and selling price; private cost rates and margins stay in your workspace.

THE QUOTE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

What did the job cost?
What is still to do?

Freeze the accepted version. Add actual costs and dated variations. Record a separate estimate of remaining work, with a source, date and responsible person.

Compare on the same direct-cost basis. Review contribution before planned overhead; keep net profit as a separate accounting question.
