You can add labour in two ways:

Option 1: Fixed labour cost

  • Add a labour line item

  • Enter the unit cost directly

Option 2: Production-based labour (recommended)

  • Apply a production rate (e.g. sq ft per hour)

  • TakeCost calculates time and labour cost automatically based on your takeoff

This lets you see real time and cost tied to actual output.
