The Pricing Problem Most Contractors Face

Most plumbing and electrical contractors price their services wrong—leaving thousands of dollars on the table while working harder than necessary. These common mistakes might be costing you.

⚠️ Pricing based on what competitors charge
⚠️ Not including ALL overhead costs in calculations
⚠️ Giving discounts to "win" jobs
⚠️ Charging hourly without accounting for drive time
⚠️ Not updating prices as costs increase
⚠️ Fear of losing jobs to cheaper competitors

Three Pricing Methods That Actually Work

Master these pricing strategies to transform your profitability.

🧮

Cost-Plus Pricing

Calculate your true costs and add a healthy markup to ensure profitability on every job.

🎯

Value-Based Pricing

Price based on the value you deliver, not just time and materials.

📊

Flat-Rate Pricing

Implement flat-rate pricing books that speed up quotes and eliminate surprises.

Know Your True Hourly Cost

Most contractors underestimate their costs by 30-50%. When you factor in insurance, vehicle expenses, tools, training, office overhead, and unbillable hours, your true cost per hour is much higher than you think.

Example: The Real Cost of a $50/Hour Technician

Base wage:$50/hr
Payroll taxes & benefits:+$15/hr
Vehicle & fuel:+$12/hr
Insurance & overhead:+$18/hr
Tools & training:+$8/hr
True Cost:$103/hr
📈

Increase Your Profit Margin

Learn how to price for 20-30% net profit instead of the industry average of 5-10%.
