Why Generic Templates Fall Short
Generic templates never break down job costing — materials, labor, and overhead per job
Seasonal demand swings are the norm in trades, but rarely get modeled honestly
Licensing, insurance, and crew capacity constraints usually go unmentioned entirely
What the AI Actually Writes
A real example of the kind of specific, grounded prose your plan will contain.
A two-person crew will handle an average of 4 residential jobs per week during peak season (May–September), dropping to approximately 2 per week over winter months when interior work becomes the primary revenue source. Average job cost is estimated at 55% materials, 30% labor, and 15% overhead, targeting a 25% gross margin per job after WSIB and liability insurance costs. All crew members hold current certification, and the business carries $2M in general liability coverage, a standard requirement for residential general contracting work in Ontario.
