FLAT-RATE PRICE BOOK FOR PLUMBERS

One firm price
on every water heater.

You quote a water heater over the phone, eyeball it at $1,200, then the install runs long and you eat two hours. Or you bill hourly, the homeowner hears the meter running, and they hover over your shoulder the whole job. A flat-rate price book kills both: one firm number per job, set from your rate, handed over before you touch a wrench.

WHAT A BOOK ROW LOOKS LIKE

The book, one row at a time.

This is what a flat-rate price book for plumbers actually looks like — a row per job, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine are pulled straight from the QuoteIron plumbing catalog.

These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it plumbing flat rate pricing; others want a plumber price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.

Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Fair questions.

Can I edit every price?

Yes — every number. The 50 plumbing templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.

Does it work offline?

The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — crawlspaces under a slab, mechanical rooms with no bars. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.

What does it cost after the free sample?

The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.

Will flat rate work for a full repipe?

No, and QuoteIron does not pretend it will. Custom lines and editable prices are right there for the repipes and the surprises behind the wall. The book is for the 80 percent you have done a hundred times — the water heater, the disposal, the angle stops — quoted in about 90 seconds so you spend your judgment on the weird ones.
