@officialchadpeterman: If your direct labor is running over 20-23%, you’re leaking profit without even realizing it. That number is companywide, across every trade line you run. Some trades will sit lower, some higher, but the blended total across the whole business is what matters. Get labor and materials right and you land around 50% gross margin, the number that actually tells you if you’re healthy.
