How Do You Make Your Money?

denick

Do you make money on contract work? Unit price or lump sum?

Do you work by the hour and make money? Charge for equipment transportation? Charge for travel time for your men? Charge for small tools?

We do most of our work on a lump sum contract. But people are always asking me for LF, SF, SY, etc. prices. Because we almost never do 2 jobs the same in a year I don't feel I want to work up those prices.

Do you who do unit pricing have minimums on quantity when you give the price?

Do you who do unit pricing have minimums on quantity when you give the price? definitely. basement excavations carry a 4' deep min. we typically want/get jobs that we're at least spending 2-3 days on. most times it's at least 2 wks

-- We do both. For house work, we work on T & M, except weharge by the foot for utilities and footer drains. For site development, we work on lump sum.

--We always charge for mobilization. For site development jobs, I figure in daily travel time.
