When finalizing your estimate, your Profit and Overhead percentages are a critical line item to determine what your company needs to make in order to make a profit and grow. There are many factors that go into these numbers that need to be considered, and every company is a little different. Some of these factors are:
Worker Fractions
Size of your company, both in and out of the field. This is considered your “Productive” and “Non-Productive” Labor
Your growth ratios, that were considered in your business plan, or just your own personal goals.
Geographical location of job’s
Types of job
Your Competition
Etc…
