The admin problems joiners & carpenters tell us about
Workshop time isn't on the invoice
Include machining, assembly and finishing hours in the price, not just the days spent on site.
Timber waste and offcuts
Build a wastage percentage into materials so a run of hardwood doesn't quietly cost you the margin.
Tools and machinery upkeep
Track servicing dates, warranties and replacement costs for saws, routers and vans in one register.
