The Problem
Before accepting or finalizing a job, run the proposed estimate through an AI prompt that calculates projected profit margin based on labor, materials, overhead, and drive time. Surfaces under-bid jobs before work begins.
How It Works
Input
Estimated labor hours, crew size, hourly labor cost, materials cost, overhead percentage, drive time, and quoted job price
Transformation
AI calculates gross margin, flags if margin falls below a target threshold, and suggests minimum price adjustments to hit target profitability
Output
Profit margin summary with a green/yellow/red flag and a recommended minimum quote price
