Would appreciate idea of current hourly rate for Licensed plumber


Wherever in the world you are, it is whatever the market will bear.



And if you're not careful, the bear will eat you.

EVERY tradesman has different pricing and that depends on their


individual

overhead. A one man shop may actually have a higher overhead cost than


a 50

person operation.



How do you figure that could be? You must have a different idea of
'overhead' than I do.



Okay, what's your idea of overhead?



I asked you first.

but if you must know:

Overhead includes two major categories of cost, operations overhead and
general and administrative overhead. Operations overhead includes costs
that are not 100 percent attributable to the activity being competed but
are generally associated with the recurring management or support of the
activity. General and administrative overhead includes salaries,
equipment, space, and other tasks related to headquarters management,
accounting, personnel, legal support, data processing management, and
similar common services performed external to the activity, but in
support of the activity being competed.

Now, based upon even part of that how in the hell could you
realistically figure a one man shop could have higher overhead than a 50
man shop???
