Starting points, not a price list to copy
Hours and supplies are the kit's starter numbers for a solo tradesperson with a few years in, on an ordinary house. They're not industry data or a survey of what anyone charges. Edit them for your market and your own speed, and price from your own costs.
Flat prices are the task alone. Trip charges, minimum job charges and the customer's fixtures go on top: each job page shows how the kit's Price This Job sheet adds them.
