Sound Like You?

You look at the job. Take a rough guess at materials. Throw in some hours. Add a little extra just in case.

Then the job is done and you realize:

• It took longer than you expected

• You forgot a cost

• The profit wasn't really there

A big job turned into cheap labor.

You're not alone. And it's not your fault. Nobody ever taught welders how to price jobs properly.

You enter your hours, materials, and job costs. GaugeBid calculates your labor, overhead, profit, and final bid price automatically.

No accounting knowledge. No complicated formulas. No guessing.

Just a clear number you can confidently quote to any customer.
