What could your team do with the time back?

Start with your enquiries, live projects and recurring routine work. Account for adoption and the checking time that remains. This workload model values the time you could get back, not a measured saving or a promise of extra revenue.

Inspect the model and assumptions
Changes the workload model. Your price follows the number of people.
Choosing "Just me" sets the firm to one person.
Include directors, engineers and support staff. Enter 1 if it is just you. This sets your price.
Count directors who do engineering. This sets how much work there is to prepare.
Projects that need design, delivery or commercial admin.
Include DNO enquiries, applications and requests for a quotation.
Checks of the records your team has to review.
Use the consultancy fee, not construction value.
Which of these do you work to?
Used only when DNO frameworks is ticked.
These are part of your admin hours, not extra. Enter 0 if none.

We have filled these in for you. Change them only if you know your own figures.

Change our assumptions (optional)
How much of your work OpsWork takes on
100 means every routine task in this estimate. Most firms start lower; try 70.
You approve everything, and checking takes some time. At 20, a 10-hour saving counts as 8 hours.
52 weeks minus 5.6 weeks of UK holiday entitlement.
What an hour is worth
Use your charge-out rate. This values the time you get back, it is not money paid to you.
Used for the evening and weekend hours you entered.
Used for people and administration time.
Used for invoicing and commercial time.
Working hours
Include any evening or weekend work you count as working time.
Admin across all six functions, including evenings. It limits the estimate.
Costs and extra paid work
Leave at 0 if you do not know.
OpsWork charges no setup fee. Enter your own setup costs, or leave at 0.
Only used if some of the time you get back becomes paid work.
This starts at 0, so the paid-work figures below show 0 until you change it.
What is left after the extra costs of doing that work.
Only costs you could really stop, such as a subscription you would cancel.

Prices exclude VAT. A cost expressed in hours is a comparison, not financial break-even. OpsWork charges no setup fee. Your running costs and setup costs, from the assumptions, are included in the first-year total. Annual prepayment is optional and costs ten monthly payments; this model compares twelve monthly payments.
