As a restoration contractor, you know the challenges of that we face daily. It seems like every day they become greater, especially these days with the additional pressures of maintaining profitability. So how do you become profitable in a time-consuming, labor-intensive business?
As an estimator and a production supervisor, I am always faced with the task of trying to secure a job with a lean estimate, and yet, somehow still be profitable. It seems over the last several years, as the number of fire restoration jobs seems to be getting smaller and smaller, lean estimates become even more necessary than ever. Now, in this “new normal” environment we live in there does seem to be plenty of opportunity to find work, that is if your goal is just to stay busy and not make a profit - there seems to be an abundance of those jobs.
