The Problem

You're not losing money
because of lack of work.

You're losing it between the quote and the finish.

Pricing based on gut feel
Overheads not built into jobs
No idea if the job is still making money mid-build
Finished a job and not knowing what you actually made

The profit leaks at every stage — not just at the quote.

The Profitability Loop

Three stages. One system.

Most tools stop at the quote. Prime Margin follows the money the whole way through — so the price you set is the profit you actually keep.

01
Price it

Quote the right price in under a minute.

Enter labour, materials and costs. Overheads are built in automatically. You see your exact profit and your minimum viable price before you send the quote.

  • Overheads built into every job
  • Know your minimum viable price
  • Target margin guardrails

Track it live, before the profit disappears.

Log man-days, materials and subcontractor costs as you go. Prime Margin compares them to the quote in real time and flags the moment a job starts eating into your margin.

  • Daily man-day tracking
  • Real-time profit-at-risk alerts
  • Costs vs quote, updated live
03
See where the money went

Know what you actually made — on every job.

When the job's done, see quoted profit next to actual profit side by side. No spreadsheets, no end-of-month surprises. Just the real number, and the lesson for the next quote.

  • Quoted vs actual, side by side
  • Variance on profit and days
  • Lessons that sharpen the next quote

Who This Is For

Sound familiar?

You price based on gut feel or what "seems right"
You're busy but not making enough to show for it
You've finished a job and thought "that wasn't worth it"
You want proper control of your numbers — start to finish

Built by someone who's been there

I run a fencing business —
and for years, I had no idea if we were actually making money.

We were busy, winning work, grafting every day… but I didn't actually know if we were making real profit. Some jobs felt good. Others didn't. But there was no clear system behind it.

I became obsessed with fixing it.

What started as a spreadsheet evolved into something we now use on every single job — from the first quote to the final invoice. It changed how we price, how we run the work, and how confident we are in the number at the end.

Prime Margin shows you exactly how much you'll lose if a job overruns — and exactly what you kept once it's done.

This isn't theory. It's built from real jobs, tested in the real world, used every day.

  • Built by a contractor, not a developer
  • Used on real jobs every day
  • No contracts — cancel anytime

What Tradespeople Are Saying

Real contractors. Real results.

Verified

"We use Prime Margin every single day in our fencing business. We know exactly how much net profit we're making on every job, how long we have before profit is lost, and how competitive we can afford to be on price. The numbers are crystal clear."
