How Do Builders/Remodelers Lose Money?
Lack of Professional Documents; Another builder/remodeler gets
the sale
Costs of a Job; Overlooking Costs in the Job Budget
Overpaying Subcontractors and Suppliers
Promising frills to customers without knowledge of a Job's over/under
status
Overlooking under-insured subcontractors; not charging them
for insurance
Insufficient Tracking and Collection of Change Orders
Slow preparation of Draw Requests
Labor Time to Maintain and Reconcile Job Cost Spreadsheets
Conflicts with Customers Due to a Lack of Accountability
No idea of Costs at Completion; Scrambling for final numbers
at Closing
Any ONE of these, on ONE job, can cost you thousands of dollars.
