Where quotes leak in metal
Three places margin disappears.
Welding time is the most-underpriced labour
A skilled welder is R280–R380/hr fully loaded. Most shops still quote at R120–R180. Margin disappears at the bench.Powder coat is a flat number that breaks on m²
Coating cost depends on surface area, colour, primer. Quoting it as "R1,500" means you sometimes lose money before the truck leaves.What Slabr does

Common questions
About Slabr quoting for metal.
How do I handle offcut value?
Offcut allocated back to inventory if usable, written down to scrap if not. Either way the cost flows correctly to the originating job.
What about external powder coat suppliers?
Powder coat as a vendor stage — manage as an external blocker tracked against your supplier's schedule.
