The Year

Every job this year made what it said. The year is short $67,000, because every rate was a guess about a count, and only the year can check the count.

Video coming

The sheets are ready now. The episode lands here the day it's up.

What this one covers

  1. 1

    Four rates, four counts (crew days, the hour, the truck, the machine), each a little off, all in the same direction.

  2. 2

    The lines that never had a rate at all, and what the year adds up to against the $108,000 the rates promised.

  3. 3

    Next year's six numbers, each with a reason you can say out loud.

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.
