Edit Cost Prices
Only David, Andrewk and Kevin can change costs. Upload their DSSC sheet or the downloaded CSV. Safe slips (quotes, POA, extra spaces) are cleaned; real mistakes are listed and the sheet is not loaded until they fix it.

How to use this calculator
This tool turns a stainless-steel item description into a sell price. Prices are ex GST. Sell = fabrication cost plus the standard margin.
1. Sign in
Create an account, then wait until a Southern Hospitality administrator accepts it. Until then you cannot calculate or save quotes. You stay signed in on this device until you sign out.
2. Fill the quote header
Project / Reference and Client appear on the PDF.
Notes are optional and also print on the PDF (for example “preliminary — subject to drawings”).
3. Enter the work
Paste a description from a schedule, or click a Shortcut to drop in a template.
Replace leftover x and empty mm with real quantities and sizes. Delete any bullet you do not want priced.
Write sizes as Size: 3600mm x 750mm x 900mmH (length × depth × height).
Quantities can be one (1), 4 x, 4 off, or words such as four.
Separate each job with a blank line. The calculator prices each job on its own, then adds them up.
4. Calculate
Click Calculate Sell Prices. The program reads each line, matches it to a price-list rule (bench, sink, legs, shelf, and so on), applies the margin, and shows a breakdown.
5. Read the breakdown
OK — the line matched and has enough size/qty to price.
CHECK — review it. Common reasons: size missing, no matching rule, or the item is POA (price on application, $0 until you decide).
The yellow Review Flags card is the number of CHECK lines. Fix the wording or size, then Calculate again.
Notes under a line (for example “Length missing”) explain the flag.
6. Save or send a PDF
Save Quote stores the quote for Southern Hospitality admin (tagged as you). It does not download a file. The saved quote and PDF show one line per item, numbered A01, A02, A03… in the order they appear on the page: the full description of what is included, and a single sell total — not a price on each piece.
Export PDF stores the same rolled-up quote and downloads a branded PDF.
Copy CSV copies the same one-line-per-item quote (full description + one total) for a spreadsheet — not the on-screen piece prices.
Clear empties the description box and results. Project, client, and notes stay.
Tips
Keep unused shortcut lines out — leftover “x sink” or “x legs” can still be priced.
Lines such as tapware, “by builder”, or “quoted separately” are ignored.
Curved benches get a 1.3 complexity factor on the benchtop length.
A short shelf under can hit a minimum charge.
This is the Southern Hospitality calculator. Only people accepted here can use it.
Cost prices are a shared Southern Hospitality price book. Only David, Andrewk and Kevin can upload or save costs. The upload checks the sheet: it tidies quotes/POA/spaces, lists checks, and will not load a sheet with conflicting or blank core prices.
