 Find Out How Your Remodeling Business Measures Up
"The Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business Study," just released at BuilderBooks.com, provides a statistically accurate analysis of the remodeling industry in terms of size, profitability, time in the business, business organization and staffing.
The results of the study enable remodelers to compare these key business statistics to see how the business practices of the most successful remodelers — the top 25% in terms of profitability — differ from those in the bottom 25%.
The study will encourage you to set your own benchmarks and incorporate them into your ongoing business plan.
