Matt goes solo this week to share hard-earned wisdom from his 30-year construction. He outlines three foundational principles that have shaped his success—and helped him recover from serious setbacks.1. Understand Building ScienceMatt emphasizes the importance of knowing how climate, materials, and design affect building durability. Lessons from Portland's mold crises taught him that “if it can't dry, it's going to die.” Builders must master rain control and moisture management to prevent failure and reduce liability.2. Stop BiddingHe shares a cautionary tale of a low-bid roofing contractor whose shoddy work and fake insurance cost him over $30,000. Instead of free estimates and competitive bidding, Matt now uses pre-construction agreements to ensure clients are committed—and to get paid for his time.3. Avoid DebtMatt recounts going hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt during the 2008 recession, even struggling to pay for groceries. He urges builders to stay lean, avoid speculative projects, and budget personally AND professionally. Matt's advice: “Fire Chuck”—his nickname for the debt he couldn't get rid of for years.Matt concludes with a reminder that profit is essential, not shameful. Builders must prioritize long-term sustainability, financial health, and client trust to thrive in a competitive industry.Thank you to our episode sponsors Rockwool & Pella.

Matt and his business partner, Tim Hill, dive deep into the realities of profitability in the construction industry. Recorded in the brand-new Risinger Build studio, Matt & Tim share a candid conversation about the challenges general contractors, home builders, and remodelers face when it comes to profit margins, client expectations, and project planning. Despite the common misconception that builders are highly profitable, they reveal that average net profits hover around just 5–6%. This low margin—combined with high risk—requires smart planning, detailed pre-construction processes, and disciplined financial management to ensure long-term sustainability.Matt and Tim stress the importance of transparency in pricing and standing firm on realistic budgets, even if it risks losing a job. They warn against chasing "portfolio projects" that look good on paper but lead to financial losses and client frustration. A major theme is the need for builders to carefully align with clients, architects, and budgets before contracts are signed to avoid scope creep and misaligned expectations.Not only do Matt & Tim discuss the “what” and the “why” of profit margins but also share the “how” to manage profit and loss statements effectively, including separating direct costs, indirect costs, and overhead.Thank you to episode sponsor Arclin!

Earlier this year we collectively watched in horror as Los Angeles burned. In all, at least 29 people were killed, 200,000 were forced to evacuate, and more than 18,000 homes and structures were destroyed. Many, like our own Peter Tilden were forced from their homes. While thankfully his house wasn’t destroyed, it remains covered in a toxic soot, consisting of noxious chemicals and other unknown particulates. Months later his home, like so many others is still uninhabitable. Really, no really. As Peter and other Angelinos struggle with insurance companies, shady contactors, temporary housing, and more, we wondered: How are people, whether by fires or floods, hurricanes or tornadoes, able to go home again? That’s why we invited James Mayfield CEO of Mayfield Environmental, to educate us on what we all need to know in the aftermath of catastrophe. For two generations James and his family have served Southern California as General Contractors for environmental cleanups. From biohazard and homeless encampment removal to Crime scene and drug lab clean-ups, Mayfield Environmental has seen it all and has a litany of certifications - making sure that when the worst happens, they clean it up the right way without taking you to the bank. *** IN THIS EPISODE: Peter’s house is still standing but...

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services

If you've been a long-time reader or a contracting company owner, you've probably heard about "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS). But what does it really mean, and why is it crucial for your construction business's success? Understanding COGS isn't just about accounting—it's about making smart decisions for profitability, pricing, and more.    1. What is the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)?    COGS represents the direct costs of creating the products/services your business sells/provides. These include materials, labor hours, and even manufacturing overheads. Any expense that contributes directly to a product's creation is included in COGS.   COGS provides critical insights into your business's efficiency and profitability. It's a fundamental metric showing how much you spend to produce inventory relative to your sales.     Contractors often ask us if they can buy our Chart of Accounts with Cost of Goods Sold and import them into their QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online file. The answer is yes! We also offer the complete QB Setup Template. 2. What are the components of COGS?  COGS isn't one-size-fits-all. It includes different types of costs depending on your business.  Here are the main components typically included in COGS: Materials: Raw ingredients or parts used to provide your service Payroll: The wages you pay to employees directly involved in production Manufacturing Overheads: Indirect costs required to produce services, such as equipment depreciation or utility costs.  Note  General overheads, such as office or marketing costs, are not included in COGS—only expenses tied directly to production count.  3. How do I calculate COGS?  Fortunately, calculating COGS follows a straightforward formula: COGS = Beginning inventory + Purchases during the period – Ending inventory  Breaking it down: Beginning inventory: The inventory value on hand at the start of the accounting period.  Purchases: All costs for new inventory bought or manufactured during the period.  Ending inventory: The value of unsold inventory at the period's end.  Example Calculation  Imagine you run a small boutique that sells handmade gifts. If: Your beginning inventory is $5,000,  You spent $8,000 on materials and production, and  Your ending inventory is $2,000,  Then your COGS would be:  $5,000 + $8,000 – $2,000 = $11,000  This $11,000 represents the cost of creating the products you sold during the period.  But wait - that is for a retail business. Simple. What about construction? Direct Costs are tied to the jobs (field labor, materials, and other cost items). Office materials (pencils, paper, toner, etc.) are overhead. Yes, an accountant could say these many pencils are used in the field and that notepad is used in the truck.  The answer is the dividing line of the direct costs to the job: the Costs of Goods Sold (COGS). That is why we've created our Chart of Accounts, which you can use inside QuickBooks, depending on your type of construction business. Most COGS accounting methods you will find are for inventory valuation, which is confusing to most contractors. Confusion always arises about the material. A construction contractor may purchase material and resell it to their customer at cost, thinking it is a reimbursable expense. (You lose money when doing this.)   Remember, all invoices to the Customer (Retail, General Contractor, Spec Builder, Developer) are income. Washington State has a clear explanation. If the words are on the invoice, then the invoice is either taxable or non-taxable based on other factors. Every line item on a customer invoice is income.   Purchases for the material are the Cost of Goods Sold or expenses if you are short-cutting your accounting. I have seen financial statements backed out because they will reflect reimbursable income as a negative number, thereby showing it as a deduction. (The net effect is double-dipping on the expense side.) The cause is that the accounting software is not being correctly set up. We fix bad QuickBooks setups for Construction Contractors. New Construction Home Building is another area of confusion. In the mind of many construction contractors, a Spec home is any new house being built for resale. That is true; it is a New Construction House. The question is on the construction accounting side. For the Owner and Developer (who might be the General Contractor running the job), it is a Spec Home.  For the General Contractor who is building a New Construction Home for a Developer, it is NOT a Spec Home. Why might it seem the same as both are New Construction Houses? The question to be answered is, "Who owns the house?" - It is a Spec House in the accounting system for THE OWNER.     If the General Contractor does not own the house, then from the accounting side for that specific General Contractor, the house is a Custom Home with an owner who is not the General Contractor.   Suppose the General Contractor or developer owns the new house being built. In that case, it is a Spec House in the Accounting System. All costs roll up into WIP (Work-In-Process) and convert to COGS when the house is sold, not before. Recognize expenses when the home sells. Otherwise, expenses one year and sales the next equals taxes.    In Washington State, all construction contractors working for a spec builder must collect sales tax on all services (labor and material) when billed by the general and trade construction contractors. In Washington State, all Construction Contractors working on Custom Homes, Residential or Commercial Projects, large or Small Remodels, or Handyman Projects can accept a reseller permit from the General Contractor. The general contractor bills and collects sales tax from the Owner.   In Washington State, Contractors must collect sales tax on all retail projects, including Labor, Materials, and others. Sales tax must be collected on every line item. Customer Discounts can be given for any reason. And that is just for one state. Pro Tip  Consult with your accountant to identify the best method for your business—tax implications vary by approach.  4. Why does understanding COGS matter?  Knowing your COGS is a game-changer for managing and growing your business. Here are some ways it benefits you: Profitability analysis - COGS is crucial for calculating gross profit. Subtracting COGS from revenue reveals how much your products contribute to your bottom line.  Pricing strategy - Understanding how much a specific project costs allows you to set prices that cover expenses while leaving room for profit.  Financial reporting - COGS is necessary for accurate income statements and tax reporting. It also demonstrates operational efficiency, which is key for attracting investors or securing loans.  Tax benefits - COGS are deductible, reducing your taxable income. The more precise your calculations, the better-positioned you'll be during tax season.  5. How can your accountant help  Managing COGS can be complex, but you don't have to go through it alone. Your accountant is your best ally when navigating this process.  They can: Help you set up your Contractor Chart of Accounts Ensure all eligible expenses are accounted for (and not missed!).  Revise your tax strategy while staying compliant with regulations.  One of the most dangerous and difficult steps in setting up the Chart of Accounts is during QuickBooks setup, especially for contract service-based businesses. Get this one thing right, and your QuickBooks for contractors can generate useful financial and job costing reports. If you get it wrong, you will never get useful reports, no matter who handles your contractor's bookkeeping services needs. The reports you do get could lead you to make decisions based on insufficient information that could destroy your entire construction company. A thought  Understanding your Cost of Goods Sold isn't just an accounting exercise—it's the foundation for business success. Calculating and tracking COGS effectively will empower you to make better pricing, profitability, and growth decisions.  Why struggle with numbers when you can partner with someone who lives and breathes construction accounting? Freeing up your time lets you focus on growing your business. You are never too small for us to help, and we can help you begin with your first day in business.    I am looking forward to being of assistance.   About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.
