What this one covers
- 1
What the next man costs and what he has to bring, straight out of the crew table.
- 2
What each man actually adds, why the fifth one usually doesn't clear the bar, and why the sixth isn't a man, he's a truck.
- 3
Why a one-man crew loses money every day, and the spreadsheet mistake that tells people to run small crews.
The sheets
This episode hasn't been recorded yet. The sheets go up here the same day it does.
Prices are mine. Yours are different. The math is the same.
Who made this
Ledge is landscape design-build software. These sheets are the thinking underneath it.
The sheet teaches the math once. Ledge carries it on every job after: the burdened hour, the man-hours the price bought, and what the crew actually did against it, side by side the day the truck is unloaded. The first ten landscape design-build firms run it free, and we make money only when your client pays you. If you want to see it on your own jobs, you talk to me.
