In episode 15 of the Professional Builders Secrets podcast, our host, Bosco Anthony is joined by Co-founders of the Association of Professional Builders Russ Stephens and Sky Stephens, along with APB's Head Coach, Andy Skarda. Throughout this episode, the trio discuss how builders should be pricing their jobs, the difference between net profit vs gross profit, markup vs margin, how to stay on top of fixed expenses and SO much more! The traditional method of pricing jobs is to apply a margin to the cost of sales. The problem with this method is that you are hoping you will make enough profit to cover your overheads and wages. Building companies with revenues of less than $6m DO NOT enjoy the same economies of scale as traditional businesses like manufacturing or retailing. This results in builders making little, or no net profit at the end of the year, despite taking on more work and increasing their revenue. When a building company grows, their net profit margin decreases, even when they don't reduce their margin, they can still end up losing money. The problem lies in the method they are using to price their jobs, and during this episode, Russ, Sky and Andy reveal the secrets to avoiding this problem. Tune in to the full episode to hear the APB trio uncover how builders can price their jobs for profit.
