FAQs

Why would I use a Margin Structure?

The Margin Structure Calculator is designed to calculate what sales margin you should be applying to the building projects you undertake. Experience has shown that most builders apply a margin using a figure that is discovered by ‘trial and error’ or they have used one that the builder they previously worked for used. There has been no analysis to work out what is the ideal margin for your business.
 
This calculator uses the overheads and other data to establish the ideal margin for your business based upon your circumstances. The example used in the calculator is ‘derived’ to reach a nice round figure. Yours maybe different. Only by entering your data will you find out what yours should be.

Builders often confuse ‘margin’ with a ‘mark-up’. If you think you are using a ‘margin’ but it is a ‘mark-up’, then you could be cutting yourself out of profits.
