Know what every job really costs, line by line.
Excel and Google Sheets kits for contractors and trade businesses. Enter the numbers once and the totals fill in for you.
A notebook can't tell you a job is going over.
Job costs often live in a notebook, a folder of receipts, or a spreadsheet that grew one tab at a time. The totals come together at the end of the job, if they come together at all, and by then it is too late to change the price or the plan.
Kitgrid kits give that work a clear structure: the estimate on one side, actual costs on the other, and the margin updating as you go.
Easy to start. No totals, no margin, and nothing to check against the estimate until you add it all up by hand.
Formulas get typed over, tabs multiply, and nobody is sure which total is the right one.
Input cells are marked, formula cells are locked in the Excel version, and the estimate and actual costs sit side by side.
20 kits and 13 bundles, built for the trades.
Each kit is an instant digital download. Nothing ships. Tested in Excel for the web and Google Sheets. Uses standard functions that work in Excel 2016 and newer.
