How Current Pricing Models are failing you

Same Job. Same Price. Wildly Different Profits.

Traditional pricing models reward materials, not your time, effort, or skill.

What’s Wrong With the Way Contractors Price Jobs?

Most landscape software still uses the Multiple Overhead Recovery System (MORS), a decades-old pricing model that ties your profit to materials. You mark up labor, equipment, and materials based on projections before the year starts and hope it all balances out.

But here’s the problem: Your profit ends up depending on what the client buys, not how well your crew performs.

Let’s look at two real jobs:

· Irrigation System: 3 days, $2,000 in materials, $1,500 in labor

· Boulder Installation: 1 day, $3,000 in materials, $500 in labor Both use a 50% markup. Both cost $3,500. Both are priced at $5,250.

But the irrigation job makes $583/day. The boulder job makes $1,750/day.

Same markup. Same price. But one job makes 3x more profit per day, just because it’s material-heavy.

That’s not strategy. That’s a gamble.

How Elevation Advisor Fixes It

Consistent Daily Profit Margins

PMM pricing ties your profit to labor, overhead, and time, not materials. Every job hits your daily profit target, no matter what the client supplies or removes.

Predictable Profitability Across Every Job

Whether it’s sod, patios, or irrigation, you’ll know exactly what you’re making per day, before the job starts. No more surprises. No more margin erosion.

Fair Compensation for Labor-Intensive Work

Jobs that require more effort finally get priced for what they’re worth. You’re paid for your crew’s time, not penalized for low material volume.

Success Based on Performance, Not Product Mix

Your profit is built into your production. That means you can lead with confidence, knowing every job moves your business forward.
