EXCEL WORKBOOK · BILLING · EMAILED

T AND M RATE SHEET, READY TO EDIT.

Every piece of equipment you operate, priced by day, week and month, with the fuel it uses and what it costs to get it there, plus crew rates at regular and overtime.

QUICK ANSWER

If you price T and M work after the fact, whoever argues hardest sets the price. That's never the subcontractor. A published rate is also the only way your equipment gets paid for on T and M at all. A machine with no published rate is a machine you brought for free. It's emailed as an attachment, and everything you need to change is highlighted.

HOW TO USE IT

3 THINGS, IN ORDER.

01

Replace the example rates with yours. They're real numbers from a client engagement and they need vetting for your region, your wage determination and what you paid for the iron.

02

Put fuel in as gallons per hour per machine rather than one blended figure. An excavator at six and a loader at sixteen are different costs.

03

Get it attached to the subcontract. A rate sheet referenced in the contract is binding; the same sheet sent after the first change is a proposal.

EMAILED AS AN ATTACHMENT

No charge. The only thing asked for is an email address, and the file goes straight to it.The workbook has a branded How To Use tab and the form itself is left unmarked, because that's the page that goes to somebody else.

 

Your address is stored so the file can be sent and so you get three short emails about using it. Leave the box checked and you also get Margin Call, Josh's monthly newsletter. Unsubscribe in one click, any time. We will never sell your information.

COMMON QUESTIONS

BEFORE YOU USE IT.

The only thing asked for is an email address, because it comes to you as an email attachment. It opens in Excel and in Google Sheets.

No. Every one of these was checked for personal details, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and client references before it was published. Everything you need to change is highlighted, so the fields that make it yours are the ones a reader checks first.

Nothing you have to take. We will never sell your information. If you would rather have every CONTROL template at once, A QR code printed in the book, with a password behind it, opening every CONTROL template as a download at runoncfos.com/cfos-toolkit. The paperback is $24.99 on Amazon.

Josh may follow up once if it looks like a fit. You'll also get three short emails about using it, and the unsubscribe link in every one works immediately. Leave the Margin Call box checked and you'll get the monthly newsletter too, and unchecking it keeps you off that list.
