Remodeling contractor
Estimate contract revenue, demolition, tile and fixtures, plumbing and electrical trades, crew labor, monthly profit, margin, and startup payback.
Monthly revenue is the total amount charged to customers for projects completed that month. It is not profit.
Monthly costs include demolition, disposal, materials, fixtures, cabinetry, subcontractors, crew labor, permits, callback reserve, marketing, and overhead.
Monthly profit = customer charges − project costs − monthly overhead. It is a rough before-tax business estimate.
Profit per project = monthly profit ÷ projects completed. Include a fair cost for the owner’s working time under crew labor; otherwise part of the displayed profit is really payment for doing the work.
Use these only as starting points, then enter what you actually expect to charge and spend. Scope, location, speed, finish quality, structural work, and customer selections can move a project far above or below these examples.
Hidden water damage, structural work, client selections, inspections, permit delays, material lead times, change orders, and subcontractor availability can change costs and timing.
Include every direct trade, material, labor, permit, disposal, warranty, selling, and overhead cost.
Return trips and warranty corrections consume labor and materials after the original job.
Only if the owner’s working time is included in the crew labor input. Counting that labor helps separate wages for doing the remodeling work from profit earned by the business.
No. It estimates profit before taxes and owner-specific financing.
