Worked examples and practical guides

Draw schedule example: why a profitable remodel can still run short of cash

A $30,000 job produces a $6,500 cash surplus in this simplified model but needs $12,500 of funding before the first progress payment.

Labor burden example: a $28 wage becomes $45.16 per productive hour

Account for paid non-job time once, then add employer costs before using labor in an estimate.

Fixed price vs time and materials: the same remodel priced both ways

Use one set of quantities and costs to see who carries an overrun and how billing changes when the job takes less time.

Scope-of-work example: owner-supplied bathroom tile

Define who selects, purchases, receives and replaces material before an owner-supplied item affects the schedule.
