When they say that you are too expensive

[@troy4998]

So True - you explain it like this to some people and they still don't get it.

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

AMEN, Brother! Very well said!

[@MisterAjxr6]

This is so spot on and most people have no idea at all.. This is exactly the reason why I try to do my work when the client isn't around.. Lol 💯

Spot on Ninja

[@bradley-concrete]

most poeple dont get it and the worst part is 40% of your profit goes straight to the gov't. they think we all dodge taxes.....

[@concreteninja]

Yes, so true taxes insurance wages GST in Australia. Lots of different things you have to pay for. .

​​@@concreteninjasuper: 11% work cover: ~4.5% EFT fees: 1.5% overheads: 8%? (Varies from business to business) That's what we have to add to our labour costs just to get to 0, then you pay tax: ~32% on your own wage and profit Edit: and people never realize if we give them a price of 20k, 10k of that goes in our bank and straight back out if it's a full supplied contract, and then you usually gotta pay all the labour out of the 10k that's left, and concreting is a team sport so plenty of that goes out of your bank to pay the boys and all of that shit I just mentioned up the top there!

And the client has transferred all the risk to the contractor . The client will now get the job done for the agreed price . The contractor must complete the contract even if he loses money on the deal for whatever reason .

I'd love to learn how to pour concrete...looks difficult...but I do love your videos.

[@concreteninja]

Thanks, mate. Appreciate the support.

Remember playing in the mud as a kid and trying to make it level and the more you made it level the wetter it got??? CONCRETING 101.

[@tanya45096]

@@Lloyd-v9l 😂 Yes, for me it was always a mess, I do remember that much. Perhaps I should have framed my mud pile, it probably would've been pretty good.
