Fair range. Break-even sits at the red line: the cost of delivering the job, not a price anyone should demand. The green band above it is fair territory: most solid bids land at a 15 to 22 percent margin on the bid, roughly 18 to 28 percent over the cost to deliver, leaner or richer by trade and market. That band is earned money. No one works for free, and if the job were easy you would not be hiring it out.
