At last, a book on how to figure the right markup for a construction company! Construction contracting businesses have the highest rate of failure of any type of business in America today. Why? Because too many contractors undercharge for their work. Avoid the pitfalls of under-estimating the true costs of doing business, not considering investment of capital, and not allowing for "surprises." In other words, learn how to have money left over after covering all of your costs to make sure you stay in business. This Book Includes: Sample worksheets Sample sales contracts Sample lead sheets Sample subcontract forms Sample notification forms Sample job schedules Sample checklists Other blank forms Also includes a free CD-ROM with all the forms. Compatible with Word, WordPerfect or Word for Macintosh. Don't lose jobs because you charge too much, or work for free because you've charged too little.
