The office·Quoting and estimating·Quoting from your own history
You made something like this in March. Price it from that.
On the call, we would ask
- When you quote a part, do you look at the last similar one, and how long does that take?
- Where do actual hours and material live, and are they trusted?
- How often does the quoted time differ from the real time, and in which direction?
- What is your margin on the last ten jobs like this one?
Also under Quoting and estimating
- Reading the request
- Quoting from your own history
- Where a drafted quote goes wrong
