You must tell the MD if any jobs run 45% over budget.:eek:[/QUOTE]

It looks like someone will be talking to the MD alot lol
 
£40K + benefits for an office based supervisor, not to be sneezed at.

Don't they mean 45% labour to invoice?

Thats exactly right. Most of the larger london companies look for a 2.5 times return on labour as an indicator that the company stays in profit. Though in recent years many have been lucky to achieve a 2 to 2.25 return, hence the staff turnover in supervison.
 
means sacking a lot of blokes then have a paire of gloves ready for
the office and the guys,:laugh::laugh:
 
Yeah, when i first started out D&R told me they had a three to 1 ratio, i.e every pound they paid me I had to earn them 3... Thought that a bit greedy at the time when the supervisor used to turn up in the car that my work was contributing towards...

Glad to say, things have moved on a bit since then...

Doesn't a company have to earn more than it pays out anymore? No wonder the UK is fecked.
 
Yeah, next day we done well over 1 grand of extras, on top of other work, I asked again bout that 3 to 1 ratio..... Just got a wry smile for my trouble...

for the record I happily work for my money and expect to make profits for the business, that's the point. However the ethos at that time was Price work performance for day work money.... Not right nor fair, especially when you consistently perform and know exactly how much work you are doing and what it's worth...

I think you are confusing profit with 'wage to revenue' mate.
 
Present company excepted, Over the years I have had scaffolders tell me they have covered their money and made profit for the company they have been working for. No one ever admits to the times they had an easy day or just didnt cover costs. Its a two way street, good times should out-weigh the bad, if they dont the company goes bust. a well run healthy company should have a turn over of about 2.5/1 against labour cost to pay for insurances, PPE, materials, lorries, general O/H, company taxation and of course the wages of the staff that manage the works. Common sense really.
 
I had a gang once tell me that they cover their week's money by Tuesday morning. W.ankers!!
 
i agree mate
