Remodeling Does Not Need To Be A Nightmare

Posted by Randal DeHart on Thu, Jun 07, 2012

When Homeowners Decide To Remodel - Their living space they tend to dream about how it will look and feel when it is done and they have no idea what an emotional roller coaster is in store for them.

Contractors Bookkeeping Services

Highly Profitable Remodel Contractors - Understand this and have processes in place to deal with it. Surprises were great when you were a child because you were conditioned to believe that surprises meant you were going to get something good! As adults you have been conditioned that surprises are not always pleasant.

Fear On Both Sides - Contractors without financial reporting systems they can trust to generate accurate Key Performance Indicators and Reliable Job Cost Reports do not know if they are making or losing money from day to day which leads to doubt which leads to stress and they end result is they tend to work faster and harder. Their frantic behavior raises everyone's stress level.

Contractors In This Situation - Feel like they are driving down the freeway, at midnight, wearing a blind fold hoping for the best and fearing the worst.

A Comprehensive Bookkeeping - And financial reporting system in can reduce or remove the feeling of being out of control.

A Simple Easy To Understand - Remodel Invoicing System to keep track of the following:

  • Original Contract Price
  • Change Orders
  • Job Deposits
  • Advance Payments
  • Each Progress Payment
  • Running Balances Showing What Is Done
  • Running Balance For What Is Still Unbilled
  • Percentage Of Completion On Each Major Section

Homeowners Expecting Their Home - To be improved suddenly find themselves under siege from a group of cavemen who are ripping and tearing their living quarters apart and they panic. Some of them consider calling 911 but they don't because they would be laughed at and perhaps irritate the contractor. Some homeowners will let you know they are very unhappy some will say nothing having decided to get even with you once the job is done by withholding final payment!

It Is Your Responsibility - As a contractor to understand the fears and concerns of your customer or client and have a communication plan in place as part of the overall project plan.

We Recommend - David Lupberger's eBook and Video Training "Managing the Emotional Homeowner" as a great place to start.
