When Do You Give The Actual Quote
Do you guys quote on site while doing the site walk or do you just collect info and send an official quote? My initial thought was to send the quote through Jobber but I am pretty sure customers will be looking for a number in person or at least a "ballpark" number.

What's your hourly goal?
Currently doing my first job, and learning I didn't price it high enough lol. Learning is never free tho so it's fine, I'll still make a decent little chunk. My question it, after machine depreciation, attachment depreciation, fuel, consumables, insurance, etc., what is your goal for profit for your time in the seat per hour? My guess is I'll end up in the $180-$200/hr range on this job. Many thanks to all who reply.

Engineered Land Solutions LLC
Busy week, so figured I'd actually write it up instead of just telling myself I would. Filed the LLC myself this week. Went straight through NH's site instead of LegalZoom, saved the markup for basically the same paperwork, done in an afternoon. EIN came back from the IRS the next day. Also finally sat down and ran a real trademark search on the name instead of just assuming it was fine. Nothing conflicting showed up, so that's closed out. Applied for a business bank account too (still pending review) and got Google Workspace set up with a real business email off my personal Gmail. Small thing but it'd been bugging me. Also got real equipment quotes this week instead of just running numbers in a spreadsheet. Hit Bobcat, Cat, Deere, and the local Takeuchi dealer. Bobcat's the clear leader right now on a skid steer and mulcher package. Cat was the most put-together dealer of the bunch, best warranty and best service commitment, but $34k to $59k more for a comparable setup. Deere couldn't quote me on the spot. The Takeuchi dealer's out, didn't have the road service or dealer support I'd need. Nothing's bought yet, but I've got real numbers to compare now instead of guessing. Stopped at a local trailer dealer while I was out there too. Got a contact and I'm feeling good about buying through them when the time comes. Truck's on the radar for December. (F450/F550, 2022+) Also got a real insurance quote range back and I'm comparing two CPA candidates before I actually need one. I know all of this is really far out from actually cutting brush for money. April 2027 launch is the planned date. But I'd rather have the boring stuff, LLC, EIN, insurance, equipment relationships, locked down now than scrambling to figure it out once things get busy. On the personal side: My wife and I had our first son on September 5th. Life's been a little crazy since. But being off my regular job right now has actually been a huge blessing, it's meant we could go do these dealer visits together during a normal workday instead of squeezing it into evenings and weekends. Plus, who doesn't love showing their 8-day old equipment?
