  • Are You Busy And Broke? Know Your Numbers And Make A Profit

    Your skills may get you started in construction, but math is going to ensure you can make a profit. It’s a high-risk, highly competitive business where the average net profit margin is just three percent to five percent. “You have to know and track your costs,” says George Hedley, a construction business coach and author of “Get Your Construction Business to Always Make a Profit.” Having grown his own commercial construction company from $5 to $50 million, Hedley shares financial expertise acquired in over 30 years working in the business.

    Hedley estimates that 80 percent of contractors don’t know their real costs. This includes labor and equipment costs per hour, their overhead or fixed costs of doing business, and their profit markup on jobs. 

    “The market and competition determine the actual markup allowed to win the bid,” says Hedley. “If your competition is getting 10 percent for total overhead and profit markup, that’s all you’re going to get.”  If your annual overhead is 10 percent and your profit goal is five percent, you must increase sales to achieve your goals and make more money.

  • John Deere 470G LC Excavator Now Features Grade Guidance Technology

    Power and precision converge with the new grade guidance technology-equipped John Deere 470G LC Excavators.
