Open QuickWorkFormFrequently asked questions
What is scope creep in contracting?
Scope creep is work added after the original quote without a price change — extra rooms, extra coats, quick favors. Each unbilled extra lowers the real hourly rate of the whole job.
How do I charge for extra work after the quote?
With a signed change order: price the extra hours at your rate plus materials, get the signature before the work starts, and keep it with the original work order. Verbal yeses are not scope.
How much does scope creep cost a contractor?
Every unbilled extra hour costs your full hourly rate plus materials. A single 3-hour favor at $75/hr is $225 of labor given away — the tracker totals it per job so the number stops being invisible.
