Overview
All four trade price books in one purchase. Electrician, Plumbing, HVAC and Carpentry, $396 worth for $198.
This exists because a lot of contractors do not stay in one lane. The handyman who does his own electrical. The plumber who took on HVAC when the market turned. The two-man outfit where one of you frames and the other one wires. Buying four books separately for that is a tax on being useful.

967 services, and why they are four books rather than one
Each trade is built differently and merging them would break all four. Plumbing needs emergency multipliers because half the work arrives at eleven at night. HVAC needs seasonal peak adjustments because demand doubles in July. Carpentry needs unit rates by the square and linear foot alongside fixed prices, because a deck is not a service call. Electrical needs neither seasonality nor unit rates but does need the panel add-on structure the others have no use for.
One combined book would have to serve the least common denominator. Four books share a settings sheet approach and nothing else, which is the correct answer.
Who it's for
Multi-trade contractors, handymen who sub out specialty work, home service companies running technicians across disciplines, and anyone who has ever quoted a job that touched two trades and priced the second one from memory because they only had a book for the first.
Who it isn't for
If you work in one trade and intend to keep it that way, buy that book on its own for $99. The bundle only makes sense from two trades up. It also does not cover commercial bid work, remodels, or new construction rough-in in any trade, all of which are estimated from scope rather than pulled from a catalog.
The set-up, once
Every book prices against your loaded hourly rate, and if you run more than one trade you may genuinely have more than one, because a carpentry hour and an electrical hour carry different tool and insurance loads. Work them out first with the Break-Even Labor Rate Calculator, enter them on each settings sheet, and all 967 lines reprice to your market in an afternoon.
The books arrive calibrated to a Philadelphia metro labor market. Quoting those numbers unedited anywhere else is the single most common way to get this wrong.
Works best with
Pricing sits in the middle of a sequence. These are the pieces either side of it.
- Break-Even Labor Rate Calculator, the rate all four books calculate against
- Flat Rate Options Presentation Template, turns the three tiers into a sheet the customer holds
- Contractor Forms Bundle, the agreement, change order and invoice once they say yes

Why buy this one
Built by a working tradesman, which mostly shows up in what each book chooses to split into separate lines. The distinctions that matter in the field, six kinds of drain call, four kinds of EV install, a slab door versus a pre-hung, are the ones that come from doing the work rather than licensing pricing data.
- $198 rather than $396. One payment, no per-technician licensing, no renewal.
- Nothing hidden. Every formula visible and editable in a spreadsheet you already know.
- Quote from anywhere. Excel, Google Sheets, tablet, phone.
- Direct support. Etsy message, answered by the person who built them.
