What happens here

After adding the mowing service, click 'Add Items + Templates' to include labor and equipment. In the right-hand panel, navigate to the 'Templates' tab. The video shows selecting a template named 'Mowing'. This template pre-populates the service with standard labor (e.g., 'Maintenance Labor') and equipment (e.g., 'Crew Truck + Maintenance Trailer') items. Adjust the quantity/visit units for both labor and equipment (e.g., change crew truck to '5' hours). The software then automatically calculates 'Unit Cost', 'Unit Price', 'Price/Visit', 'Seasonal Unit Price', and 'Seasonal Profit'. Click 'Refresh Pricing' to update these values based on changes.

Goal: Populate the service with necessary labor and equipment using templates and adjust quantities.

of um templates i can find one that will help me quote a project like this faster or i can build it myself um if i've never done that type of work before but in this case residential mowing is pretty standard i've got a template i'm going to click that and it's going to ask how long the property is going to take and it's going to kind of um prompt me to um decide for myself what that timeline looks like so if i think the crew is gonna be on that property um for a half an hour with two people then it's one man hour in total um and maybe if the crew uh truck is gonna be there for a half an hour but with some drive time maybe i round it up to an hour it's going to kind of put that price out like this and so here's the components for the year but up top what it's saying is this is the price per visit so i know i'm charging 38 and 45 cents per cut um at as a cost and then my price to the customer is actually 7418 and that's with a 9.8 profit and i think this is where often a lot of contractors aren't clear on what their cost per visit is
