How Does Your Remodeling Business Measure Up?

 

The latest 'Cost of Doing Business Study' is available now.

 

The “Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business Study,” available through BuilderBooks.com, is comprehensive assessment of the growth and viability of the remodeling industry that enables remodelers to see how their businesses stack up against the competition.

Conducted by the NAHB Economics Group and the Remodelors™ Council, the study provides a statistically accurate analysis of the remodeling industry in terms of size, profitability, time in the business, business organization and staffing.

The study is conducted every few years; this is the latest one available.

The results allow remodelers to compare key business statistics, such as gross and net profit margins, against a national benchmark to see how the business practices of the most successful remodelers. 

The study breaks down the results by total revenue and number of employees, so remodelers can easily compare their performance against those in the top 25% of the industry in terms of profitability as well as those in the bottom 25%.
