ito - it is keeping it simple.
you run an 80 man union shop, and cringe at the thought of those 80 men pricing a job. correct?
imagine running a 20 man residential shop where the guys do price the jobs. jobs that are $500 to $5000 dollars.
do you want them to walk in look at a job, then figure out how long it will take, figure out all the material needed, figure out the OH & Profit, add it all up and give a price?
or would it be easier to look in the book that has the average prices for that job, and just adjust it accordingly?
takes much of the risk out and keeps it simpler.
