We have a Strategic Business Plan in writing for Sales, Construction Operations, and Accounting that has been shared with our management team.
When combined, we will pay over $400,000 in salaries for our Director of Sales, our Director of Construction Operations (COO), and our Controller (CFO).
We do not use a Cost-Plus formula. (Where the job cost is multiplied by a fixed percentage, and the product is then added to the job cost to create the contract price).
We pay real estate agents a commission for the referral of a new build or remodel contract.
If we gross $10M in construction this year, not including land sales, we expect a minimum of $1.2M in K-1 totals, or 12% at a minimum, of whatever our actual annual gross volume will be.
If I stop working today, it will have no effect on my business. I have a business succession plan in place that will pay me a recurring income, or I can sell the business for a profit.
We have the right people in the right seats and do not need any new hires. Each person sends a scorecard with their weekly and monthly KPI’s to their supervisor.
Our Company will not submit bids for any project without having a design or pre-construction agreement.

After paying all job costs, overhead, including the management team salaries in #3 above, our net profit remaining is a minimum of 10% of our gross revenue for the year.
If I stop working it will have no effect on my business. I am in a position to sell the business for a profit, or continue to receive my share of the profits as a source of recurring income.
All employees keep a scorecard with weekly and monthly numbers that they report to management or their supervisor.
Our brand has been defined in writing. We have identified our target market in writing. We have a process with a clear criteria in writing to identify our “Best Fit” client. Our online and offline marketing reflects our brand message to attract qualified referrals.
