How do I understand Incentive Types?

Definition: Adds a fixed dollar amount per item, unit, or fixture installed on the Job to the Job's Budget.
Example: $350 per push pier installed or $75 per de-humidifier.
Example: A 5 Star Google Review can add $25 to the Budget.

Definition: Sets aside a specific percentage of the total contract price for the labor budget. Multiple percentages per classification can be added to a single job.
Example: Budgeting 12% of a $17,000 project ($2,040) toward labor.
Example: Job total (Contract Price): $10,000, $5,000 @ 12% + $5,000 @ 10% = $1,100 towards Labor Budget

Definition: Calculates the labor budget based on the total surface area covered in square feet.
Example: $2.50 per square foot for crawl space vapor barrier encapsulation or polyurethane foam concrete lifting.

Definition: Calculates the labor budget based on the total line distance of the work area in feet.
Example: $35 per linear foot for foundation wall epoxy crack injection and exterior waterproofing.

Definition: Applies a fixed dollar rate to every estimated labor hour quoted in the job bid.
Example (Man Hours) : Budgeting $40 per man hour for crawl space encapsulation. If a 3-person team works 10 hours on site, that equals 30 total man hours (3 workers × 10 hours). Total labor budget = $1,200 (30 man hours × $40).
Example (Crew Hours) : Budgeting $220 per crew hour for a concrete pouring and finishing crew. The crew spends 6 hours on site pouring a basement slab. Total labor budget = $1,320 (6 crew hours × $220).
