Dumping out two 16 ton loads with an International Paystar dump truck, then spreading it out on a muddy driveway with a Bobcat 864 tracked skid steer. Then splitting some fire wood.

Having some experience with contractor pricing, I think you should be targeting about $95 an hour on labor. This should give you a good margin on all of your incidental expenses and give you some left over for heavy equipment maintenance. I estimated your labor at about 12 man-hours (you may have taken longer, but a bigger contractor would have done your work in about 6 clock-hours with two guys). Given your materials cost, this put your labor rate around $60/hr. If you had billed out at $95 the job would have cost the customer $1,600 and I would doubt they would be able to get a bid cheaper than that on the work you did. The firewood after cut and seasoning was worth maybe $150. Of course, keep billing the customer a flat rate for the job, don't itemize unless they ask for it, and if they do, don't inflate the price of your materials. Show them what it costs you, and put the extra in labor. It will make you seem more trustworthy in your billing.
@MAGWolf4 жыл бұрын
I think he also factors in Diesel and equipment costs to haul it hence why it was $600. Either way his rates are very reasonable plus it seems he gets a lot in trade to in a lot of videos. Here it looks like he got free firewood.

As far pricing, I knew, when you didn’t blow away the leaves and debris before spreading the gravel, this was a low budget job.....availability of the rock in your area makes the material cost very low, compared to my location in north Mississippi. Looks like you spent the better part of a full day in total, so $1200 looks too cheap to me.....here, I would have to pay about $480 per load for stone and delivery....operator and skid steer runs about $120/ hour. Based on that, a reasonable market price to the homeowner would be Around $1800-$2000..... but, finding someone who will throw in the woodpile cleanup and be as conscientious as you......not likely 😎

Total charge $1,200 so $740 profit Well not exactly there’s your time/ labor, fuel ⛽️ , maintence, insurance, Fuel being the most expensive so in all I think you probably made $300 or $400 profit.

Michael Garofalo I was from outside of Philly too. AC has to tell himself how much HE wants paid each week for, say, a 50hr week. His equipment per hour is X-Dollars/. He has to get X% return on that metal investment..per hour. His maintenance estimate is so much per year divided by the work hrs per week..per year. REPLACEMENT of entire machines is X-Dollars per year. He divides THAT by his annual hours of machine time. Every machine chips into the replacement charity bucket. His real estate us an investment deserving of X% return on it too. All in all he has to charge X$/Hr per machine. Obviously the skid loader doesn't get what the Cat does etc. AC can "average" the ANNUAL NUT COSTS over the different size machines. It's an ART and a SCIENCE. This is where his accountant can indeed be helpful in ALLOCATING COSTS. BUT on any given day, AC knows whether he wants his assets 'to sit idle' or get out there and make revenue.

@gavinhirt I think most people don't understand the sticker shock of living in the woods. Sure the taxes are lower than in developed towns and cities, but people need to realize that they need to set aside enough money for things like driveways that would normally be paid for in higher taxed municipalities. Upfront costs may seem high but they need to consider the lifespan of the driveway improvements and spread out that cost and save each year for it's eventual replacement. The spreading of the costs is called amortization. Just as the driveway depreciates every year so does Andrew's equipment and that also needs to be taken into account. Another thing, just because Andrew does his own work on his equipment doesn't mean he shouldn't get paid for it at the going rate for mechanics. All of these factors should be considered in the price of the job.

Great video. I'm guessing the two loads + cost for delivery+ cost for spreading out, and cost for cleanup and disposal . $1200 total seems like the customer got a $15 hundred dollar job for a bargain price
@ChunkyMonkaayyy4 жыл бұрын
You may be right. A bunch of the comments are saying that was a $1,500 or $1,600 job. So he left a couple hundred on the table. Plus he did that tree stump cleanup? Sounds like cust got a good deal. Also he bid $800 for the tree and didn’t hear back. I bet the cust finds someone cheaper to do it. The customer could just be that type. No loyalty, Just always go with the cheapest.

I keep watching these videos, Andrew Camarata is some sort of wizard. Levi is clearly one good dog. What a loyal friend. Spent a summer running a Komatsu excavator, front end loader, and a bulldozer while helping build a shooting range in Vermont. Mostly pulled stumps and buried them. Only drove the dozer once, hardest thing ever to do right. Lucky some old timer showed me how on his equipment. Good times.

Andrew... Nice job and fair price. I always enjoy watching you operate the equipment. People that haven't tried to run a machine and come up with nice results don't realize the talent and experience it takes. In my opinion, it's like a carpenter trying to frame a house, with only an 8lb sledge hammer. Thanks for all of the great videos.

Andrew, I contract a lot of jobs similar to what you do but on a bit larger scale. Here in Texas at least where I am located, the price of gravel tends to be a fair amount higher. Pricing for most aggregate starts around $30 a ton for crushed concrete, limestone is around $32 a ton, and a number 2 stone like I see you use a lot tends to average around $38 a ton. That job here I would charge $2000-$2200, plus any additional cleanup, such as what you did, on an hourly basis. I believe your labor rates are fairly similar and accurate, the material cost here is the main difference. Great video as always, keep up the good work.

Hello, Andrew. I like a lot of your viewers have been in business a lot of years. When I price a job I keep in mind that I have to earn loyalty, not just with price but performance and friendly service. I know my costs and work up from there but there is always the ones that are out there that work only on price and forget the other parts of the equation and will undercut my bids. I have learned that if I get a shot at a return job it is probably because of this ethic that has kept me in business for fifty years. What you charge is probably moot if th customer is happy. Thanks for another great video. Pet Levi for me.

It can get pretty shocking what they charge to take down a tree. Insurance will go up if there is any problem. A neighbor got a quote for a similar tree and one service wanted $3,000. He and his son did it with the winch on his sons truck.

There's other ways of looking at it Andrew. If you charge more you have to pay more taxes. More social security, more fisa. If you can live on what you're charging, and your prices are reasonable, maybe even a bargain.I don't know how much advertising you do or if you depend on word-of-mouth for your work. Just a thought.
