In addition to the rates, material and labor cost remain very high.

i don’t mind buying my own materials if it would save me some cash. having a hard time deciding who to do my home improvements. good help is hard to come by these day, especially being new. the price increases doesn’t help as well. as much as i want to diy, i don’t want to mess anything up & still have to call for help!

I was going to continue living with my parents until the renovations were completed.I hired contractor 4, put a lock box on the property and starting purchasing materials and placing them in the garage for the contractor to get started.

This included labor and material.

Ask to see the previous year’s P&L, Ask about previous peak seasons, ask them to share a copy of the emails from all previous guests (For marketing and Follow-up promotions).

Ask your rehabber where he gets materials, try to find some lumber yards and suppliers, not lowes of HD as they have credit departments.Set up a line of credit with suppliers and by the paper at the time of sale.

In an effort to generate new business, I'm looking for help/ideas on promoting our commercial property management company

It may take a person average $0.5 material cost (card or paper and envelope, ink and postage) and plus whatever cost they view their labor cost is to send one mail out.

Based on my experience even with hiring contractors you may also need to do some minor project management to keep the project on track.I definitely see what youre saying about the General Contractor saving me money in the long run due to him knowing local regulations better and getting better price on materials!

Does anyone have a sense of what materials + labor would cost here?
