Hey Daniel I’m very new to the AI world. I hope this is ok to post? I am a retiring house builder of 44yrs. I’m developing with Ai a lead generation and sales pipeline. And along with this the financial workflow of the# Profit Master Job Workflow **What it produces:** Takes one job from first price to closed-out week — a customer-ready quote, a live daily cost log while the job runs, and a Friday profit report — all reading off the same labour rate so the numbers never disagree with each other. --- ## Ingredients (tools, in order) | # | Tool | Role | |---|------|------| | 1 | **Labour Charge-Rate Calculator** (skill) | Sets the true hourly cost-to-charge rate per tradie. Every later step reads this rate — it's the foundation. | | 2 | **Job Quote Generator** (skill) | Turns a scope + materials list into a GST-inclusive, customer-ready quote (PDF + editable docx). | | 3 | **Cols Business Voice** (reference doc — paste in) | Writes the cover email that goes out with the quote, in your own voice, not generic AI copy. | | 4 | **Tradie Daily Job Log** (skill) | Logs actual hours and materials as the job runs, and flags if you're burning through the quote faster than the job's progressing. | | 5 | **Tradie Weekly Job Costing Report** (skill) | Rolls up every job logged that week into a profit summary and a formatted Excel workbook. | --- ## Steps **1. Set or update the charge-out rate** Run when a tradie starts, or whenever wages/super/leave change — not every job. > Prompt: *"Build/update my labour charge-out rate calculator. [Tradie name], wage $X/hr, super 11.5%, WorkCover Y%, Z weeks annual leave. Weekly overhead $[amount], target margin 25%."* Output: workbook with the tradie's recommended hourly rate. **2. Quote the job** Run for every new job, before work starts. > Prompt: *"Quote this job for [customer name]. Scope: [job description]. Tradie: [name], est. [X] hours. Materials: [item, qty, cost per unit]. Pull [tradie]'s rate from the labour rate workbook."*
