Markup & Profit: A Contractor's Guide, Revisited Paperback – April 1, 2012

Interesting and useable information.

Great book! very helpful lots of good insights and ways of doing business that I had all wrong, my profits are up my customers are happy like always and I am much happier and that shows in my work and its all thanks to this book helping me correct the mistakes I was making and gave me the confidence I needed to put the true value on my work and my time. I've never been so busy once I put the proper value on my work I have customers beating down my door and I can't keep up with the workload my profits have doubled and im finally comfortable not worrying about money or struggling to make ends meet. I'm not trying to beat the competition for who goes out of business first, put value on yourself and others will value , you.

This book came in good condition on time. It is a must read for anyone starting a construction company. The value goes beyond the book to web support and recommendations for other resources.

This book has re-written (I know I know...... It's a book, and it in-itself was written, how could IT write anything, let alone re-write something?!) but this book has re-written how our business is structured and completely improved our markup formula.

This is a great book and I'm happy I found it. I wish it had more tips on running a construction company that went above and beyond the basic numbers. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot to the "basic" numbers and you can go broke quickly if you don't follow the guidelines in this book.

This book has some of the best information and examples you will ever find for remodeling contractors. Michael's perspective and narrative are perfect. I have a degree in accounting and have read numerous industry specific and general business related books like this, none of them have made it so crystal clear what mistakes I have been making with my 10 year old remodeling company. This book has made me feel like I have a shiny new toy to play with and identified some things that I must clean up immediately if I want to stick with this and someday have a life too. If you work your tail off, surround yourself with great people, do great work and have a great reputation - but simply aren't making enough money to feel like the struggle is worth it, READ THIS BOOK! This may have just saved our company and given me the hope I needed to persevere. Thank you Micheal!

This book takes a cutthroat industry like construction, and enables contractors to finally understand their own numbers. Not only that, it gives you formulas to figure out what numbers you should be aiming for, so that you can build a profitable company. Better yet, it gives practical advice on how to handle a variety of situations that make life difficult for contractors (and costs them money). I have worked in the construction industry a number of years and am always looking for genuine, truthful, practical advice on how to be a better contractor, and this book provides it. It's given me a lot to think about.

if your a professional contractor its probably a neccessity, but as someone whos not idk why I even bought this
