Tips
- Only items you change are stored as your own. The rest follow the defaults.
- Update prices when your supplier updates theirs.
- Time one real job to learn real hours per unit.
- Search for “mulch”, “pavers” or “sod” to jump here.
If something goes wrong
- A number reverts. Click Save price book after editing.
- Estimates look odd. Check Waste / overage and the hours.
- Reset removed my numbers. Reset replaces all your own values. It cannot be undone.
