PWS BUSINESS TOOLS
Price the whole job. See where your money goes.
The welding may take two hours. But what about the measuring,
material pickup, cutting, deburring, fit-up, painting and delivery?
Leave those tasks out of your estimate and they can quietly
consume your profit.
The PWS Welding Job Pricing App helps you
turn your expected workload and expenses into a structured
selling-price range before you commit to the job.
Account for the work that gets missed
Enter minimum and maximum labour-hours under collapsible
task categories covering:
- Job review, measurements, design and planning.
- Material sourcing, pickup, loading and transport.
- Layout, cutting, deburring and joint preparation.
- Fit-up, clamping, tack welding and welding.
- Grinding, cleanup, preparation and painting.
- Delivery, installation, adjustment and handover.
Use a pricing basis that fits your business
Choose a selling rate that already includes hourly overhead
and profit, or a labour-cost rate with separate overhead
and pricing adjustments.
- Enter a whole-job material total or material line items.
- Add a material waste allowance where needed.
- Include consumables, equipment and subcontractor costs.
- Allow for travel and delivery expenses.
- Apply optional time contingency, rush charges and tax.
- Use markup, or target margin in cost-rate mode.
See the estimate and understand the breakdown
Totals update as you enter figures. Review your minimum
and maximum estimate alongside the labour, materials
and adjustments behind it.
- Whole-job and per-identical-item selling prices.
- Pre-tax estimates and entered tax amounts.

estimate validity and payment terms.

Before you purchase:
This is a browser-based estimating tool. It calculates from
the hours, rates and costs you enter; it does not automatically
measure a drawing or generate a SketchUp material take-off.
Amounts use your chosen local currency without automatic
exchange conversion. Device saves are local, not cloud account
storage. Final pricing remains your business decision.
