    I am in the same position as you, but I have found the Hometech Remodeling estimator helpful because in the front of the book they speak to a contractors Gross Profit Margin.

    Scott, "helpful" just isn't good enough.

    Michael's is better, and for one reason. The entire book is about this subject. That's why the title is "Markup & Profit. A Contractor's Guide." Duh!

    Scott and Others, Sonny is right, if you're serious about being in the business, there is two publications you NEED to read.

    1) Markup & Profit by Michael Stone.
    2) The Business of Building (cost of doing business) by NAHB.
