As builders and owners of a construction business, there is
one area where you may not only be leaving money on the table, but you may be
losing it at an alarming rate. It's at a step in the process you may think you
are doing right, but there's a 9 out of 10 chance that you are doing it
completely wrong. It could cripple, even destroy, your business in the long
run.
The fact is, you aren't calculating your markup properly, and it is killing your margins. It doesn't matter how good of a contractor you are, or how good your builders are - if you aren't properly marking up your work and the supplies it takes to fulfill the jobs, you are going to go broke. If you are making the mistake of assuming you are using the proper markup rates, it's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.
Don't fall into the trap of underbidding your work either. Just landing jobs is not going to keep you afloat- in fact, if you aren't selective and honest with your bids, all of that work is just going to bring down your business faster. Builders must properly calculate their markups in order to have margins that cover overhead, your salary, and bring in profit. If you are not accounting for any one of these the right way, you are losing money on every single job.
The problem has been that there was no real, solid, easy to understand information out there to help builders figure out how to properly calculate their markups. All the information is either outdated, vague, or generic - none of which are going to help you with the real costs of your business.
Don't worry anymore, because finally, there is great news for contractors and builders!
