      We're out of the west coast. Sometimes ya gotta go even HIGHER!! Don't hesitate to go higher. Especially if hard to find the exact product, a harth a counter top...the exact tile!!! Each head ache...GO higher....or each potential head ache...hike it...hike it!!! OK, just had to add my 2 cents...... I also enjoyed the video.

    For repair work on flooring I charge per man hour $50 per head. Typically, if I have 2-3 guys working on a job at 150$ an hour, the job ends up costing the customer a lot less than one man at $50 an hour. I always make sure to give the customer the estimate and make sure they understand it’s an estimate. We also keep track of the hours using an app. To show the customer. Based off of my experience I already know the type of hours we are pulling on a job. Small bathroom repairs take less than 30 hrs in one week. If I got 2-3 guys working that job ends up being about 1200

    In 2023, I be charging: $400.00 per man hour plus materials, plus 1,000% markup on those materials. Plus overtime, plus 1,000% markup on the materials. But I’m also paying skilled labor $65.00-$80.00 per hour starting, plus overtime, plus CPA fees, plus workers comp, my direct cost is usually peanuts, plus insurance, plus Auto Fuel etc. My current direct cost and overhead without employees is: about $6K - $10K per month. With 5 Emloyees: It cost me the employer: 6 figures per month to run my construction company. Which means that my company needs to be growing at least $2.5 million dollars with 1 crew of 5 guy’s in order to have a 50% personal gross profit margin.

    Great advice, but you missed one thing in your calculations..... Every single job I have done ALWAYS has some unforseen obstacle. I'm adding 20% to every job for those situations that are unknown ahead of time. For instance, today the electrician was working in the same space and he slowed us down by being in our way. This is only one example, but there are plenty more. Always add a 20% contingency.

      Figure out the number of hours for the job and then add 20%. Also, there is an industry term called "tool time" which is the time actually spent 'on the tools'. Everything else is a waste in terms of getting the job done. Tool time is usually around 70-80 % of the time, hence the need to add 20% (at a minimum) for each job. Other factors include unknown issues that need to be dealt with. I hope that helps.

    Hey so once I finish and have my rates, I've come across a speedbump. When I do my calculations on a annual scale my rates cover overhead and an employee's yearly wage. But when I break down the amount of workable hours in the month, theres no way my average cost per one man hour can cover paying him on a weekly or monthly basis (the amunt of workable hours in a week or month) but my number line up annually.

    Some of this kind of went over my head towards your average wage per person.
    If you have two people 25 + 20 = 45 but if you use a blend of 31.5 after your 1.4 multiplayer, how does that cover the cost of two guys doing the work you estimated 40 man hours?
    Is there something I’m not understanding?
    Because of you did your math 25+20X1.4= 63 then bill them both out at 31.5 how are you making money when their straight wage alone is costing you 45 before the 1.4?

    • @michaelmead5880
      @michaelmead5880 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So, this is a contractor's way of explaining cost accounting, nicely done!
    If anyone needs simplification, just divide the overhead you spended last year by the billable hours last year & you'll get the hourly overhead rate.
    On top of that you can add your labor hourly rate by dividing last year gross labor cost by last year billable hours & you'll get your labor hourly rate. You're welcome

      Use our job costing sheet for that. To figure what you need to charge for a job if you know you will have OT. thecontractorfight.com/jobcosting/

    This final amount… the cost for one hour… is this the number to charge per person in the field?

      No. If you have 2 guys and it takes them one hour, then that's two man hours.

    While doing these calculations on the worksheet I am technically one of the 2 field employees, SO my question is--- if my salary is included in the annual overhead costs (C) how do i adjust (F) to reflect my hourly wages IF i do at all???

    • @sf49er20
      @sf49er20 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. Maybe im confused, but do these calculations charge for me, as employee, again for my salary, and another time for “profit goal”? So $100,000 of salary, $50,000 “profit goal”, plus my hourly wage, since im on the field as well?

      Then you aren't running a contracting business, you're working in a contracting business.
      Hire a second person to replace you. Keep your desired salary in the Net Profit. Factor what you need to charge to get there. Charge the customers. Get paid.
      Not trying to sound like an ass, I've just been where you are and need to hear that before I did it. You're trying to own and manage your business not work for it. At least that's what I'm assuming.

      What was your hourly rate calculated at? That’s what you charge per hour per guy

    • @pedroperezsmith9917

      This is where I think there was a slight mistake. When Tom makes the calculations for that example he multiplies 91x 48 estimate hours. This calculation $4368 is based using just one employee in the field, but instead he mentions that would pay for two employees, which is wrong. The whole video is amazing, just this example might confuse us with this little mistake. Can you confirm this? Thank a lot!!

      @@pedroperezsmith9917 91 man hours doesn't mean it's just one guy. The 91 hours is total hours on the job for whomever is working. You could have one guy work 40 hours, two different guys on site for 10 hours each and another guy on site for 31 hours which gives you a total of 91 man hours.
