Markup & Profit:<BR>A Contractor's Guide

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.

This guide explains the importance of setting your own markup - not just picking a markup figure that someone else uses. Every business is unique, with different labor costs, different overhead costs, different profit requirements - so their markup should be different, too.

Markup & Profit gives you tried and tested formulas with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow examples so you can easily figure the markup that’s right for your business.

You'll learn how to:
  • Calculate your full overhead
  • Price your work at the proper markup
  • Forecast increases in your overhead
  • Set and keep a budget
  • Figure all your job costs
  • Sell yourself and your work
  • Estimate your break-even point
  • Recognize an unprofitable job
  • Compute a fair wage for yourself
  • Write a good contract
This book gives you the key to operating a profitable, contracting business - figuring and using the correct markup on every job.
