Put job costs to work in your next estimate.
Connect estimates, crew time and invoices so each completed job can inform the next quote. The GuildHall Partnership combines useful reports, practical fixes to office handoffs and ongoing analysis of the work you want to win.
Average crew hours per completed job
| Job type | Quoted hours | Recorded hours |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs | 2 | 2.5 |
| Water heaters | 4 | 5 |
| Fixture installs | 3 | 3 |
Fictitious monthly figures. Water-heater jobs average one hour above their quoted allowance. Review added work and site conditions before changing estimates. Materials, pricing and other costs are needed for a margin report.
Checking the labor allowance
Illustrative scenario, not a client result
A plumbing company is reviewing its standard installation estimates. The owner wants to know whether the labor allowance still fits the work. Quotes sit in the field-service system; crew hours arrive through a separate timesheet, and added work is sometimes recorded with the original job.
Improve the working process.
Match estimates and time entries by job number. Add a scope-change flag so added work stays distinguishable from estimating drift. Set up a weekly exception list for completed jobs missing crew hours, with one office owner responsible for closing the gaps.
Put the report to use.
GuildHall develops a job-type report you can pull yourself, with a custom dashboard if you need several views. Together, we examine the jobs behind a difference, including added work and unusual site conditions. You can then decide whether to adjust an estimating allowance and review later jobs with us as crews, suppliers and the work mix change.
A report to use.
A partner to work with.
Keep the report useful as crews, suppliers and job types change. We help review estimating adjustments against later work.
As the foundation settles, we focus on ongoing analytics: refining views, investigating trends and reviewing the results of agreed changes.
Explore the PartnershipReports follow the timeliness of your records; live dispatch alerts are not promised. Agree scope, permissions and any exports or processing before work. Larger system changes require defined responsibilities with your team or provider.

We agree on one focused piece of work and deliver it. It might be a report, a systems assessment or a practical fix.
One-time fee. No monthly commitment.

Your ongoing Partnership
Continue from the foundation we’ve started, with $250 credited toward your first monthly payment.
From $500/month. Scope and capacity are agreed in your proposal. You can also start monthly from the outset.
See how monthly support worksThe Trial is the first step into the same Partnership. Moving to monthly support is a decision we make together.
A few practical details.
Do we need new field-service software?
We start with your existing tools and check their reports, exports and job identifiers. A missing time entry may call for a better handoff; the proposal will identify any software change needed.
Can we review materials and margins too?
Yes, with suitable cost and revenue records. We agree what counts as job cost and flag missing supplier invoices before comparing margins. Labor hours alone cannot tell you which jobs are most profitable.
How does the Trial fit into the Partnership?
It is a first step into the same work: one focused engagement for $500, without a monthly commitment. If you continue with monthly support, $250 is credited toward your first payment. You can also start monthly from the outset.
