Crew & Fixed Labor

Fixed labor inputs are total labor-hours, not elapsed crew hours. Add only labor not already included in your production rates. Example: two painters spending one hour on setup equals 2 labor-hours.

Number of people actively assigned to this work.

Used only to estimate crew days.

Work Items & Production Rates

Enter the quantity of work and the production rate your business wants to use. Each row calculates Quantity × Coats / Passes ÷ Production Rate. Production Rate means units completed per labor-hour, and no industry rate is preset.

Surface-area imports are recalculated from the saved raw measurements. Production rates are left blank for you to enter.
