Wow... great video! Thats a lot to digest, thankyou. I'm definitely going to implement this into my budget. I hope that our industry continues to get more educated and raise their rates and standards.

Yes, try to break it down by as small of a task as possible and go step by step and try to think how long each of these steps would take you. Consider whether material is being delivered or if you are picking it up. When you start the project, take lots of notes along the way with how long each step took you to complete. Continue this note taking with every project to get an average for each step.

Ah, yes the spreadsheet we formulated to calculate our overhead recovery for the time allotted to a specific project. We take what we calculate in the field, what the project entails, what our production rates are from that, and then apply it to our overhead recovery, labor costs, add our material costs, and calculate our profit margin on top of that. It would be very time consuming or inaccurate if we did not use this program.

@@iamahardscaper wow, that didnt even seem like you were talking to me. Sounded like a commercial.. I said you use a program. Then you said yes... in a paragraph..
You didn't say anything about how much you got paid for the entire project? So what did you charge the customer for the entire project... $5000 $7500 $10000 ?
