Questions we get asked.
No. This stands on its own. The Playbook is about the trade and the career. This is about the business you run on top of it, so the two do not overlap much.
It is nine pages and that is deliberate. It is numbers, a rate calculation and five document templates. Padding it to fifty would not add anything you would use on a job.
They are dated where they appear, because rig costs and insurance move. If one is wrong or has moved, tell us and we fix it. Everyone who bought it gets the update free.
A PDF. It downloads the second you pay, it reads fine on your phone, and it prints clean if you want the templates on paper.
