# Skill: Build the flat-rate book
Flat-rate protects margin from the slow tech and the surprise.
## Step 1 — List the common jobs
Catalog the recurring service tasks (§3 #2).
## Step 2 — Price each on loaded labor + material
Standard hours × loaded rate + material with waste/markup (§3 #1, #5).
## Step 3 — Build good/better/best
Option-present each repair (§3 #7).
## Step 4 — Maintain it
Re-price as labor and material costs move.
## Output
A flat-rate book with good/better/best options priced on loaded labor and real material.
