Combine material and direct labour for a starting fabrication estimate.

Recommended job price₹10,350.00

Cost basis: ₹8,625.00 · Estimated profit: ₹1,725.00 · Margin on selling price: 16.7%

Overhead, contingency and markup are always included at every level (they were previously hidden at Beginner/Expert levels, which silently excluded profit). Markup here is applied on cost; margin on selling price is profit divided by the quoted price, shown above. Use this as a structured estimating aid. Confirm material rates, taxes, delivery, drawings, site work and customer-specific terms before issuing a quotation.

Build the estimate in layers

Start with direct material and labour. Intermediate mode adds overhead, while expert mode separates contingency and profit markup.
