Pricing dock and door work
- Price PM programs per door or dock position: (minutes per asset × asset count + travel and setup) ÷ 60 × labor rate × visits per year, plus a standard allowance for lubricants and small parts.
- Quote repairs flat-rate where the scope is standard (spring pair, cable set, seal replacement) and time and material with an approved not-to-exceed where it isn't.
- Charge a clear premium for after-hours and weekend emergency response, and a minimum charge per emergency call.
- Mark up parts to your target margin: price = cost ÷ (1 − margin). Include freight on large components.
