Estimates

Rain day rescheduling for estimating crews, without losing the week

Rain does not cancel a estimating day, it moves it — and moving it is where the cost is.

Every pushed day collides with a day that was already full. quotes going out the same day they are asked for does not pause because the weather did, so the work stacks and the following week takes the hit.

Done by hand it is an hour of decisions and a round of phone calls, right when you are already behind. Done badly it produces the worst outcome in this trade: customers who were not told.

The rule that saves it is simple. Rebuild the week rather than shuffling the day, tell everyone affected before they notice, and protect the stops that cannot slip.

That is a job for someone with the route in front of them and time to make the calls — which is precisely what you do not have on a wet Tuesday.
