Any thoughts on this? Its an ongoing debate at work. Theres a main owner who advertises and used company name to get work. He than sells the leads to lead guy. For 40% of jobs profit. But it gets weird. Ill use A B C for example. A is owner B is leadguy contractor c is subcontractor. The contractor B goes to the calls inspects the job quotes it and than hires the C subcontractor to do the job. C gets a job description with approximate total payout and approximate materials needed cost. Example Materials approx/ 2200$
Total job payout approx/1400$. C the subcontractor goes and buys all materials needed for job goes and does all the work himself finishes it. Payout time example Customer got billed 10,000 total for job. Materials costed 2200$ 10,000 -2200=7800$ left. The subcontractor C gets to keep 30% of the 7800$ wich is 2340$. Than the remaining 5460$ gets split 40%-60% from A and B. A/owner=2184$
B/sales inspection contractor 3276$
C subcontractor=2340$
