| Abstract/Contents: | "Winter maintenance can be your most profitable division as long as you accurately figure all your costs." Uses John Walsh's full-service landscape company's time and material pricing structure for winter snow removal and sanding work Gives an overview of how John Walsh runs his own full-service landscape company and how he goes about completing a bid for a job. Things that he considers while doing an estimate include the time needed on the job, labor burdens (FICA, FUTA, SUTA, etc.), and overhead costs. Shows an example of how Walsh comes up with the plow cost per hour (CPH) and how he determines the break-even point (BEP). |
