Re: Construction Pricing

There is no easy answer To your question. You have to do your homework first.  Most important, you need an on-site visit to see first hand what you’re getting into.  I know you said rural upstate NY but are there trees, can your reach the poles with a bucket.  If you can, from the road or ditch.  If the ditch soft, are the roads well traveled. Who pays for traffic control?  How many risers dips, no cut, drive off or jig off, places to figure 8, etc. Then figure how many man hours will be required. Then figure out your cost of doing business which includes; wages, benefits, payroll taxes, FUDA, SUDA, worker’s compensation, General liability insurance, lodging, per diem, phone, electric, rent, tools, vehicles, fuel, Repairs,  computers, Office supplies, field supplies, CPA fee, attorney fees, bonding, interest, depreciation, Accidents, theft, bad debts, etc,  There are more cost but this will get you started. Add up all your costs, add in your profit margin, then divide that sum by the Work Units to get your per unit price.  That’s you answer. Anything else is just a guess.
