Wrong-Fit Job Cost Calculator
Calculate the True Cost of Wrong-Fit Jobs
The Buildscout Wrong-Fit Job Cost Calculator helps contractors quickly see how much time and money is being wasted on wrong-fit jobs. By entering your average quoting hours, hourly rate, travel costs, and the number of unsuitable jobs you quote each month, the calculator reveals the true cost of wasted quotes. It also shows the missed profit from good-fit jobs you could be winning instead. Whether you’re a builder, electrician, plumber, or tradesperson anywhere in the UK, this tool highlights the impact of chasing poor-quality construction leads and why focusing on local right-fit jobs is crucial for profitability.
Why Wrong-Fit Jobs Hurt Your Business
Spending hours on the wrong opportunities means less time for profitable work. The calculator highlights how quickly these wasted quotes add up, not just in direct costs but also in missed earnings from better-fit jobs you could have won. Use it to get a clear picture of how wrong-fit jobs affect your bottom line — and to start thinking about how focusing on the right opportunities can protect your time, money, and long-term growth.
