What happens here

While the square footage formula works well for larger structures, it may not be sufficient for smaller ones. For a 12x12 ft garage (144 sq ft), the $3.00/sq ft rate yields only $432, which might not be profitable after accounting for transportation and setup. In such cases, consider adding a typical mobilization fee (e.g., $250) to the quote to ensure profitability, bringing the total for a small job to $682.

Goal: When dealing with smaller structures, adjust the pricing to include a mobilization fee to cover the fixed costs of bringing equipment to the site.

great for bigger structures but when you get when you get into smaller structures you got to be a little bit more careful so let's use an example where if you have a 12 by 12 garage someone calls you up and wants you to remove that's 144 square ft multiply that by three and that comes out to be like $432 or something like that you've got to stop and ask yourself is it really worth my time to go all the way out to their site bring the equipment I I need out demo the garage haul it away for a $400 bill maybe not in that case as the job shrinks you may want to add a transportation fee or a mobilization fee to overcome the lack of basic square footage that's in the structure itself so that's one thing to be careful of when you're using this formula it works awesome as the garage gets bigger but as it gets smaller you may have to adjust [Music]
