Weld Length, Speed and Consumables
The welding quote type asks for the weld length per unit and your weld speed, then charges the time at your welding labour rate. Wire, gas, rod and other consumables are a cost per metre of weld, so a longer weld costs more in both time and material.
Cutting and fit-up, assembly, finishing and setup each have their own fields, and the material carries a waste allowance.
Repairs, Small Fabrication and Site Work
Not every job is a clean run of weld. For a repair or a custom piece, build a workflow quote: grind out, cut, fit, weld, grind and finish, each as an operation with its own time. Installation on site and cleanup can be added as their own steps, and the finishing and installation quote type covers on-site hours with travel by the kilometre.
Weld inspection can be offered as an add-on on structural work, at the fee you are charged.
Rates That Cover the Whole Business
A welding rate has to cover more than wages: the truck, insurance, the welder itself, the shop and the hours you spend quoting and driving. The shop rate calculator works out what each billable hour must bring in, and Customakr can read your power, gas and water bills to fill in your utilities.
