Leave the trade out of your Estimate Labor list. Full steps below.
Where: Settings > Estimate Labor, and the Target rates step just before an Advanced Estimate is generated
Plans: Agency and Enterprise (Advanced Estimates)
Steps
Leave the trade out of your Estimate Labor list.
Generate the estimate — WinkScope AI adds the trade and prices it from the project's location.
The line is marked Added by WinkScope AI — check rate so you know where it came from.
Correct the rate if you like; the line then shows Edited by you. Rates that came from your own settings show Your rate.
Those markers are for you only — they are never printed on the client's PDF or page.
Rules and limits
Only trades that match a saved role are priced from your settings; anything else falls back to the project's location.
Location matching goes postal code, then street and city, then region, then country — the most specific answer wins.
If live local prices cannot be reached, the estimate still builds from market averages and says so calmly — your work is never lost.
The material price allowance is capped at 10 percent.
Local wording, units and currency follow the country saved in the company's settings.
