About our pricing

At Curran, we believe in transparency, fairness, and sustainability when it comes to pricing our services. Unlike traditional hourly rate models that can be misleading, we use a pre-calculated pricing system that ensures all costs are factored in upfront, allowing us to deliver high-quality service without compromise.

Why Not Hourly Rates?

Hourly rates can create uncertainty. While they may seem lower initially, they often fail to reflect the true cost of delivering a reliable service. Businesses using hourly rates sometimes underestimate their overheads, which can lead to rushed jobs or unexpected extra charges. At Curran, we take a different approach—one that guarantees value, quality, and long-term sustainability for both our clients and our business.

Our Pre-Calibrated Pricing System

Our pricing structure is designed with honesty and sustainability in mind. It allows us to cover labor, materials, and operational costs comprehensively, ensuring we can continue to provide top-tier services while maintaining a strong and reliable team. Here’s how it works:

Example Job Breakdown

To illustrate how our pricing works, let’s look at an example job costing $1,000:

Total Price

$1,000 (100%)

Labour Costs

$300 (30%)

Material Costs

$200 (20%)

Total Direct Costs

$500 (50%)

The remaining 50% covers essential business overheads that allow us to provide outstanding service:

Vehicles & Repairs

5%

Insurances (Workers Comp, Public Liability, and Vehicle)

5%

Office & Facilities

5%

Fuel & Tolls

3%

Administration & Support Team

12%

Marketing & Customer Awareness

10%

After covering all operational expenses, we aim for a modest 10% net profit margin—not just as a financial gain, but as a means to reinvest in our team, equipment, and future improvements to better serve our customers.

To help illustrate where your investment goes, we provide a detailed cost breakdown so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.

Why This Matters
