Go over some old ones.
Remember my numbers are hypothetical, except for the 200 day financial calandar.
200 days of profit? If you are lucky maybe. I figured a little less but not much.
I think the key thing, even with having problems on the job, is to be very very very efficient. Its not fair to charge just because the math tell you to if you can't actually perform.
Besides, if you go by the math you would think that you should bill out around 1000 dollars an hour.
not using a set hourly rate scares me. its not what I want to make, its about what I have to make.
we have a set minimum rate for the small jobs that take under an hour.
and our set hourly rate insures that we make the money we need when we are working. it also streamlines the bidding. rate X estimated hours + special equipment if needed (boom truck, 4 wheeler, ect)= job price. my pay per hour is in the hourly rate, and not based on what I feel like on a given day.
