RESOURCE TYPES/PROFIT

Use this form to set up the default (automatic) profit values for each of the Resource Types (Labour, material etc.).
You can also enter your own Resource Types (5 supplied as UNUSED).

Default Profit
This is the most general application of profit within Fast Estimate. Entering values here will apply this same value to all new schedules.

This feature is particularly useful for companies who normally apply the same profit margin to each job, or who have agreed with a major client that all jobs will be priced with a fixed profit margin.

Tip: You can of course change the profit values after a new schedule has been created with the default values.

Resource Types
You can change any of the UNUSED types to reflect any additional resource types you may need to more accurately reflect your cost breakdown e.g. Insurance, Management etc.
