As we're working on the hardscape display for our supplier there's a guy walking through the area, watching what we're doing. I say hello, he introduces himself as a guy that does some hardscapes in a market 80 miles from here.
He wants to know how much I charge for retaining walls - he says he thinks he's not charging enough. I told him our price varies by the project. He says they normally charge $14/face foot. Not really knowing who he was, and not wanting to give away too much info, I tell him that he should look at his own numbers - if he takes his amterials and labor and G&A, and after the work is done he still has the desired profit, then he's charging the right amount. And I left it at that.
So I guess I'm a hypocrite for not giving him exact figures, while I'll spout out all kinds of info here.
Go ahead - :tomato:
