Many trades and construction business owners worry they’re undercharging and missing out on profits.
Our FREE Hourly Charge-Out Rate Calculator helps you uncover the true cost of your employees and set rates that reflect the real value of your work.
Download now and start using it in your business with confidence!
Every trades and construction business owner, their management team, and anyone pricing work should be using the Hourly Charge-Out Rate Calculator.
It’s also valuable for employees to understand the real cost of labour. For example, while a worker might earn $40 per hour, the true cost of employing them can be $100–$110 per hour once overheads are added. Charging $140 per hour doesn’t mean massive profits, it covers expenses and ensures the business remains viable, profitable, and able to provide ongoing employment.
Labour costs are just one of the common pricing mistakes we see trades and construction businesses make, this tool helps avoid them.
Yes. We offer two versions: one for service and maintenance businesses with higher overheads and another for project/construction businesses with fewer costs. If your business does both, PROTRADE United can help tailor the right pricing structure.
When you book a call, you’ll gain clarity on your business goals for the next 12 months and uncover the biggest roadblocks that may be holding back your profits, time, and growth. You’ll also receive tailored recommendations to strengthen your business and improve your bottom line.
This isn’t about theory. It’s about practical systems that work in the real world of trades and construction. Whether you’re just starting out, scaling your team, or looking to reclaim more time and freedom, we’ll help you put the right steps in place.
Don’t keep guessing with your pricing or running your business on hope, take control with proven strategies that deliver results. Book your complimentary growth call today and start building a business that works for you, not the other way around.
"What I love about PROTRADE is there is a while team of people there that have got your back"
"The fact that I know my business is running smoothly and it doesn't need me at every particular juncture means that I can take some time off for myself"
"PROTRADE has really opened my eyes to how a business can almost run itself with the right systems and procedures in place to support a quality team."
"Before I joined PROTRADE I worked 5 or 6 days a week from about 7 o'clock in the morning through to 11 or midnights some nights. I didn't really have many systems in place and had no idea about business and what it involved."
