Rate Library

Your day rates, material prices and hire costs — saved once, used in every quote and estimate.

How to use the Rate Library

Add your current labour, material, plant and other cost or selling rates.
Use a clear description and unit so the rate is not applied to the wrong quantity.
Replace every starter example with current evidence from your business or supplier.
Review overhead, tax, waste, delivery, risk and margin before adding a rate to a quote.

Why use this tool

Keeps frequently used rates in one editable library.
Transfers selected rates into the quote workflow with a visible unit and quantity.
Labels starter values as examples rather than unsupported UK market averages.

Rates vary by scope, competence, region, quantity, access, programme, supplier and date. The example values are not market research or a pricing recommendation. Decide whether an entry is a cost, charge-out or selling rate, then include the overhead, waste, tax and margin relevant to the actual quote. Revalidate saved rates regularly.
