Pricing Individual cabinets

[Leo Graywacz]

I am trying to get a hold on pricing of cabinets within the software. When I am a building small single cabinet is there a way to incorporate the plywood yield within the pricing scheme. I am getting prices that are to high because it takes the price of all the sheetstock instead of what is used from the sheetstock. While this method works great for larger jobs it doesn't work very well for smaller jobs. I am still trying to figure out how to price the cabinets without using a linear ft method which has been my standard. It included all labor and material costs. Now I need to reconfigure things so that I have everything separated. It's becoming a challenge. My standard 30\" dbl door, single drawer cabinet with finish and install should be around $995.00 yet with the computer doing the calculations it comes up with a price of $1900.00. While this would be great for the bottom line I just don't think I'll be selling many of them . If you could give me some hints how you guys are setting up your pricing in the software as examples I might learn something. All comments are appreciated. Thanks

Make sure you nest the cabinet before creating the cost sheet.

Before nesting, costs are calculated using the ESTIMATED yield you setup in Define Costs for sheet goods.

After nesting however, costs are calculated using the ACTUAL yield from the nest.

I thought you were just trying to really hammer home the point!

You must be going for 1000

I think the more posts you have, the more you stutter...seems to be the overriding theme...

I did do it that way Dan. It said \"actual yield\" on the bottom but it still charges the full price for the sheetgoods. I was hoping that if I used 50% of a $60 piece of plywood it would calculate the price as $30. But that's not the way it works. If you can get it to do it this way maybe you can explain it to me. Thanks. Good luckin reaching 4000 posts

Leo,
I think the software will always charge a full sheet for any sheets that are cut.

I figured that. When you are pricing individual cabinets that really boosts the price up quite a bit. The pricing on average will work pretty good when you have multiple cabinets spanning many sheets of ply. But when it comes to little jobs looks like it just better to use the design, nest, and cut list aspects.

Thanks anyway.

Sounds like another candidate for a future build. We could have it set up as price per sq.ft. or price per sheet. Add that to the sq.ft. labor charge ability then we'll really be cookin' with propane and propane accessories
