About Flat Rate Pricing

Lula’s Flat Rate Program is designed to create simple, predictable repairs for common service scenarios. Instead of quoting every job individually, certain repair types are offered at a pre-established flat price.

These prices are built using real job data across Lula markets, combined with partnerships with manufacturers and material suppliers, allowing us to standardize both labor expectations and material costs.

The goal is to remove uncertainty—for customers and Pros—while keeping jobs moving quickly.

Why Flat Rate Programs Matter to Our Property Management Customers

Property managers value consistency and predictability. Flat rate programs help by:

• Standardizing pricing across properties and markets
• Reducing approval delays by eliminating back-and-forth on quotes
• Making billing simple and consistent for accounting teams
• Creating predictable outcomes for common repair scenarios

Because pricing is known upfront, customers can plan budgets more accurately and move faster on routine maintenance needs.

Why Flat Rate Programs Benefit Pros

Flat rate programs are also built with Pros in mind. Key advantages include:

More Predictable Pay

• Compensation is clearly defined upfront
• No uncertainty around approvals or revisions
• Faster job completion and fewer delays

Fewer Out-of-Pocket Expenses

• In many flat rate scenarios, Lula manages material procurement
• Materials are sourced through trusted suppliers at negotiated pricing
• Reduces upfront costs and reimbursement friction

Less Administrative Overhead

• No need to create detailed quotes for eligible jobs
• Clear scope and expectations before arrival
• Simpler close-out and billing process

Materials & Procurement (When Applicable)

For certain flat rate repairs, Lula will handle material procurement on your behalf.

When this applies:

• Pickup locations and details will be clearly provided in the work order
• Supplier locations are selected to be close to the property whenever possible
• Locations are chosen for ease of access and reliability

Your role is simply to pick up the materials as instructed and complete the repair according to scope.

Note: Not all flat rate jobs include materials provided by Lula. The work order will always clearly indicate when procurement is handled for you.

What This Means in Practice

• Flat rate jobs have defined scopes and clear expectations
• You’ll know the pricing and process before starting work
• Lula absorbs the complexity of pricing, forecasting, and supplier coordination
• You focus on delivering quality work efficiently

The Bigger Picture

Flat rate programs allow Lula to:

• Deliver a better, more consistent experience to property managers
• Reduce friction across approvals, billing, and communication
• Create repeatable, reliable work for Pros

This structure helps ensure long-term volume, smoother workflows, and predictable earnings across markets.
