Totally.

For years.

So pretty instantly, I started getting paid for eight hours of my time in an eight-hour day.

And it's not that I was necessarily making more money.

I was just working way less.

So I could work a normal amount of hours in a year and get paid for it and have nights and weekends free and not wind up in the hospital.

The biggest difference is that...

There's a lot of similarities and there's actually a lot of similarities.

I think I could go back to fixed costs now and be profitable.

For me, the biggest difference between T&M, I have designated markups.

My markups as a T&M contractor on subcontractors and on materials is higher than a cost plus contractor.

So most cost plus contractors are anywhere from like 12% to 20% plus contractors.

Because I do so much less work, if I was working on a 12% to 20% markup, I would make no money, right?

So I'm going to be in 35%, 40% markup on a lot of my items that are time and material.

But that's fully disclosed in the contract beforehand.

And then also, my labor rate is a loaded labor rate.

So in...

in cost plus, you have designated rates or market rates, and then you have your plus on top of it.

I don't have my plus on top of it.

So when I have a contract, I have my labor rates all spelled out, but they're loaded labor rates.
