Trade Utilisation & Profit Gap.

Your team is paid for 38 hours a week. How many of those hours are you actually billing? This tool turns that gap into dollars — and shows you how to close it.

The tool

A weekly utilisation tracker for electricians, plumbers, builders and every other trade. Enter each person's paid and billable hours, allocate the non-billable time, and the tool models revenue, margin and net profit at every utilisation level.

The problem

Wages are fixed — you pay them whether the hours are billed or not. Travel, waiting, supplier runs, quoting, admin and callbacks quietly eat 20–40% of paid time, and most owners never see what that costs.

The benefit

See exactly where the gap sits, what lifting utilisation to target is worth in annual profit, and what you need to bill to hit your revenue goal. Save each week to track trends and fix the biggest leaks first.
