Plumbing estimate FAQ

How do I account for trip charges?

Add a trip charge as an 'other' item or include it in labor. The customer sees it however you set the section's visibility.

Will my customer see my costs?

No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.

Do the suggested items include prices?

No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
