Xactware Solutions provides computer software solutions for professionals involved in estimating all phases of building and repair. In 1986, Xactware opened for business with Xactimate, its flagship estimating system. Xactimate helped contractors and insurance adjusters estimate repairs much faster and more accurately than they ever could before. Since then, Xactimate has evolved into a high-powered package complete with a patented plan-sketching program, and Xactware has become much more than just Xactimate. Today twenty-two of the top twenty-five property insurance companies in the U.S. and ten of the top ten Canadian insurers use Xactware property insurance claims tools.

The key difference is that burden rate is used to determine the cost of production, whereas overhead expenses are not directly tied to your cost of production.

Q. How does overhead affect profit?

A. Overhead expenses provide ongoing support for product production and service delivery and as result, they are sometimes called indirect expenses. Every increase in overhead reduces profits by exactly the same amount. Note that overhead can affect Gross profits, Operating Profit, and bottom-line Net Profit.

Q. What is the average markup on labor?

D. To keep things easy, here's a handy markup & margin table for contractors that shows you how much you need to mark things up to achieve your desired profit margin. Most general contractors are looking at about a 30-35% margin and so they need to a mark-up based on inflation with market cost.

11 / 15

Q. Who is entitled to overhead and profit?

Every general contractor is entitled to a profit, which is defined as the difference between the cost of goods and the price for which they are sold.

Q. What does O&P mean in insurance?

A. Direct Costs - which are the costs necessary to furnish and install the permanent elements of the project, such as structure, exterior envelope, interior finishes, vertical transportation, mechanical electrical and plumbing systems.

B. Indirect Costs - which include General Conditions or Overhead, and Markup (Fee or Profit), which are the costs associated with the jobsite management of the project, including items such as project management staff, jobsite trailers, telephones, administrative as well as temporary roads, temporary utilities, permits, fees, general hoisting, safety, and cleaning, not specifically associated with individual elements being erected.

D. Profit refers to the mark up applied by the contractor or construction manager to the total of the direct cost estimate, plus the general conditions/requirements estimate, and certain G&A costs.

E. Overhead and Profit will typically fluctuate with the market. When market conditions are not favorable to the contractor, (i.e., few construction projects being started) contractors decrease their profits to become more competitive and may take a job that will at least keep their staff busy. Overhead will be reduced as a contractor may put fewer staff on a job and will further negotiate to have subcontractors incurred more of the indirect costs at no additional cost, thus lowering overhead.

Having a record of day-to-day activities, problems, and resolutions are critical to successful project management. It is used for post-project debriefing, productivity management and dispute resolution.

B. Construction daily reports can refresh our memory and provide vital details from specific dates, working areas or construction tasks. By recording everyday activities such as weather, number of operatives, man-hours, progress of specific works, safety and quality issues, observations, etc.

C. Various records that need to be maintained at construction site, drawings, contract Agreement, time and Progress Charts or CPM Charts, work Orders Book, works Diary, works Passing Records, tests Results Record, cement Register.

15 / 15

Q. What is the difference between overhead and labor?

A. The overhead rate or percentage is the sum your organization spends on making an item or providing services to its clients. Calculating the overhead rate can be done by dividing the indirect costs by the direct costs and multiply by 100.

B. To allocate the overhead costs, you first need to calculate the overhead allocation rate. This is done by dividing total overhead by the number of direct labor hours. This means for every hour needed to make a product, you need to allocate $3.33 worth of overhead to that product.

D. Your labor burden is the full cost you incur for employees. Overhead expenses are the fixed or indirect costs of running your business, such as administrative and marketing costs. Unlike labor burden, overhead expenses are not directly tied to the level of your production.

Commissions on losses:

Is the motivation in why everyone in the industry chases fires. With competitors offering all kinds of numbers from 15-30% commissions off losses from other companies offering homeowners money in getting the job to companies offering both. The Ability to sign a deal without offering money to clients when signing a construction deal is a skill set, but at times providing a couple of upgrades will guarantee the Deal.

When Adding Up The Monthly Advansments

1-man crew $5,000.00 + a #3,000 Signing Bounce of the agreed 50/50 loss split on all job submitted in providing a 250k of losses per month = $25,000.00 per month = $12.500.00

We all know there is different types of losses, and each loss has obstacles, but if the construction is done with quality and warranted 9 out of 10 times it ends well, and that’s what’s keeps the chase alive. Building losses can average from $30,000.00 – $620,000.00 from are lasted signed fire restoration jobs within the last 8 months.
