1. Describe the job

Universal job costing. Select “Any trade / custom job” to add your own items and verified supplier details. Specialist templates are optional. General prices are not live, and example rates are placeholders. A dated turf supplier snapshot is preserved separately.
Find current supplier prices online

Searches supported UK suppliers including turf, aggregates and paint catalogues. Only your search words are sent to ABCDayZ and the suppliers. Prices are per retailer purchase unit, not automatically per m², tonne or pack. Check the unit, VAT, delivery, postcode and availability before copying into your quote.

Enter supplier LIST prices. If a supplier price already includes your trade discount, leave “Supplier discount” at 0% to avoid deducting it twice. The material uplift is calculated on the net purchase cost, and the customer discount applies to the resulting quotation.

Expand “Supplier / price origin” below any cost field to record the supplier, product URL and VAT basis. Manually entered prices remain clearly labelled unverified. Verified web prices will be marked separately when supplier retrieval is available. Supplier details remain internal and are exported with your cost sheet.

Project measurements and quotations stay in your browser. Searching sends the product search words to ABCDayZ, which requests selected publicly accessible supplier catalogues. As with any website request, technical connection data is processed. Saving creates a JSON file on your device. Listings are not binding quotes.

Your entered assumptions, not predicted events. These are illustrative and do not estimate the probability of loss. Existing contingency is already included in baseline cost.

    Quantities and internal cost sheet
