Add up labor correctly?

Umm, every hour you spend at the job, you charge the customer.....

You might want to elaborate on your question.

Re: Hvac

If you're talking about putting an estimate together, do yourself a huge favor and get a copy of Ottaviano's National Mechanical Estimator. That will put you on the right path. It's out of print, but I got myself a copy a few years ago.

Re: Hvac

Start by calculating your overhead. If you don't know that your going to get yourself in trouble.
