The Full calculator (decking, concreting, fencing)

Most quotes in Karven are built in the quote editor: parts of the job, lines, quantities and rates you type (see optional extras and cost + markup for what it can do).

Decking, concreting and fencing also have a Full calculator. You enter the measurements (deck size and height, slab area and thickness, fence length and height) and it works out the materials, labour and price for you. Both end up as the same kind of quote for your customer.

Opening it

Start a new quote and tap Full calculator at the top of the quote editor. It only shows for decking, concreting and fencing.

Where its numbers come from

The Full calculator uses your trade's built-in formulas plus your own rates:

• your hourly rate
• your supplier prices for the main materials
• your profit %
• your travel rate

Set these in Settings → Trade → Full calculator (advanced). Every new Full calculator quote uses them. Your everyday prices for the quote editor live in My items instead, and aren't affected.

Changing a rate doesn't change quotes you've already made.

Good, better, best

When to use which
