About JPL

J. Paul Lamarche, the author of the JPL Estimating System has
worked in the horticultural industry for over 25 years in almost
every capacity from design, working on site and supervising
major projects to providing consultation services and offering
estimating workshops on strategies to improve profitability. He
has given workshops to horticultural companies, trade
associations, and industry suppliers throughout North America.
Over the years, he has had numerous requests from
entrepreneurs who were looking for a proven mathematical
pricing strategy. In 1986 he developed a job-costing system to
serve as a management tool for his customers. This system was
later made available in his book “What the Market will Bare.”
In 2005 his system was nominated by Landscape Ontario as the
one most suitable for their membership. Now, after extensive
research and testing, the JPL Estimating System has finally
made the transition to DVD format.
The JPL Estimating System allows you to go beyond break-even
points and price for profits. We can help you to determine which
jobs you should be bidding on and how to use your equipment
profitably.
JPL offers seminars and personalized consulting on a one-to-one
basis. Contact us for a confidential review of your requirements.
