PlanIt Estimating · Products & Pricing

Set fitting prices (what you charge and what the fitter costs)

What does this do?

Each flooring type has two fitting rates: what the customer pays per m² and what the fitter costs you per m². The difference is your labour margin, shown on the Profit Check.

How to use it

  1. Go to step 3 · Products & Pricing and pick the flooring type's tab.
  2. Enter the Fitting sell price per m². This is charged to the customer.
  3. Enter the Fitting cost price per m². This is your trade or labour cost.
  4. Repeat on each tab. Vinyl, LVT and carpet can all have different rates.
  5. Check step 6 · Profit Check to see the labour margin the rates give you.

Step 3 is where the job gets its money. Every flooring type used on the job has a tab with the product name, your cost, the customer price and the fitting rates. The quote, cutting plan and profit check all read from here.

Products & Pricing

Your standard rates are remembered for every new job

The rates you type on Products & Pricing become your standard rates. Every new estimate, on every device in your company, starts from them. You can still change any rate on any job without affecting the standards.

Customer pays the fitter direct (subcontract fitting)

Subcontract Fitting is for jobs where the customer pays the fitter directly. The fitting price still appears on the quote so the customer sees the whole cost, but it stays out of your total, your VAT and the deposit you request.

Check the profit on a job before you send the quote

Step 6 shows what the job is worth to you: selling price, estimated cost, gross profit and margin. It is for your eyes only and never appears on anything the customer sees.

Profit Check

Set CIS deduction and the VAT reverse charge on a job

For commercial and subcontract work, tell PlanIt whether the job is under CIS and whether the VAT domestic reverse charge applies. The quote then states the VAT and the CIS deduction the right way round. Leave it off for ordinary domestic jobs.

Add door bars and other accessories to a quote

Accessories are the extra bits charged as their own quote lines. Door bars are priced each with a quantity; adhesive, plywood and other floor preparation are added on the Floor Preparation tab for just the rooms that need them.
