I have never priced by zip code.
But I am changing that and it is because of client expectations.
In the affluent towns clients have very high expectations - not for construction per se but contractor availability, construction schedule and timelines, etc.
So I am raising prices in certain towns among other criteria because demanding clients limit my ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
I am also trying to do more work in other parts of the state because of this.
And I know a lot of mechanical trades are trying to not do construction work only service work.
I also find the architects and interior designers that service these clients are also a PITA.

How do you get anything done?
