Most contractors don't lose money because of bad work.
They lose money because they don't know their real costs.
Materials get missed.
Equipment isn't charged.
Labor burden is underestimated.
Overhead gets confused with profit.
Taxes aren't planned for.
And every estimate depends on the owner's memory, experience, or a late-night spreadsheet.
The result?
Jobs get won.
Cash flow gets tight.
Margins disappear.
And nobody knows exactly why.
It's Your Pricing System.
The MESLO Pricing System was built to help contractors move from guessing to knowing.
Instead of relying on memory, gut instinct, or disconnected spreadsheets, MESLO provides a structured framework for organizing:
Materials
Equipment
Subcontractors
Labor
Other Costs
Insurance & Bonding
Overhead
Profit
Taxes
Every estimate follows the same logic.
Every bid follows the same process.
Every project becomes easier to understand and improve.

Separate direct costs, overhead, profit, and taxes so you can finally understand where your money is going.
Account for:
Overage & Waste
Operational Complexity

La mayoría de los contratistas no pierden dinero por hacer mal trabajo.
Pierden dinero porque no conocen sus costos reales.
Faltan materiales.
No se cobra el equipo.
La carga laboral y los impuestos no se calculan correctamente.
Los gastos generales se confunden con la ganancia.
Los impuestos no se planifican.
Y cada estimado depende de la memoria, experiencia o intuición del dueño.
El Sistema de Precios MESLO fue creado para ayudar a los contratistas a dejar de adivinar y comenzar a saber.
