Construction progress: Duplex with WU basement and developed attic

So not even 15% margin. You also seem to be self-employed. Would it be enough with a retail price of 50 cents per scoop if less than 7 cents difference between cost price and retail price before tax remains with you? Of course not.

Margin in gastronomy: approx. 400% Margin in clothing: up to 1000% not uncommon (except for discounters) Margin in IT: from "box movers" with 2-3% - ? to VAR with approx. 20-30% So comparing ice cream scoops with houses doesn't help us here ;)

what is that

You are no longer allowed to say Mohrendatsch. That is a "Schaumkuss" (formerly Mohrenkopf or Negerkuss) in a bun. A must-have between math and sports during the big break.

As you may have already noticed, my general contractor has no employees, no office, and only a van. Moreover, he can neither plan nor coordinate, and construction management is a foreign word to him. That may be normal in most cases, but this is not a normal case, as we have all realized by now.

This is the core problem. He simply has no idea and thinks he is just as smart as people who have trained or studied for it. And we experienced exactly the same nonsense when the master craftsman requirement was abolished in many professions.

Question: ........why should the builder bear the cost for a miscalculation?

I should have known, at least according to some members. Snow White should also have known that the apple was poisoned, and if the minced meat is on sale at the supermarket, you’re not supposed to buy it either; it might be from the day before yesterday:confused:.

: Margin is equal to selling price minus equity (or production costs) -> margin over 100% is therefore not possible. What you mean is mark-up.

Oh wait, in waste recycling, margins over 100% would theoretically be possible if you also get paid for sourcing your goods. But I believe that the reprocessing costs are too high.

I should have known it

You’re always wiser afterwards. But now make sure you manage it with him, using your own craftsmen. Your GU2 can get materials from the dealers and relieve the workers. Otherwise, he’s good for nothing.
