Contractor’s Profitability
It costs a lot more than you realize to build a home or perform residential repairs. This article looks at both the homeowner’s and contractor’s perspective of what one perceives and the other actually incurs.
A third factor in determining a fair profit percentage is risk. Risk is divided into two types. The first is insurable and the second is uninsurable risks. Insurable risks are mitigated and have very little to no effect on the profit formula due to transferring the risk to a third party known as the insurance underwriter. Uninsurable risks are non-transferable and therefore the profit must be adjusted to compensate for this type of risk.
