description	Build a flat-rate price book from loaded labor and real material cost with good/better/best options, so service pricing protects margin. Reach for this on service pricing.

Skill: Build the flat-rate book

Flat-rate protects margin from the slow tech and the surprise.

Step 1 — List the common jobs

Catalog the recurring service tasks (§3 #2).

Step 2 — Price each on loaded labor + material

Standard hours × loaded rate + material with waste/markup (§3 #1, #5).

Step 3 — Build good/better/best

Option-present each repair (§3 #7).

Step 4 — Maintain it

Re-price as labor and material costs move.

Output

A flat-rate book with good/better/best options priced on loaded labor and real material.
