During the PERIOD SPECIFIED, did you or any member of your family contract services for the construction or repair of a house, building or any structure?
Interviewer instructions
A10.a Operator of Construction Activity
Ask the question as worded and find out if anybody among the family members was engaged during the reference period in any construction work, addition or repairs. If reply is "Yes" proceed to A10. (b). If reply is "No" go to the next section.
A10.b Gross Receipts
Report here the total amount of the contract for the job or jobs. If a family member is paid wages for doing an alteration, it should not be entered in this section because he is not an operator. He is a wage worker so report his earnings in Section A (Salaries and Wages from Employment), Part III.
A10.c Expenses
A contractor usually provides labor but sometimes he contracts the entire structure without the owner providing any material. In inquiring about expenses, try to provide the details as called for in this subsection. Try to assess the construction enterprise if the net income is realistic. Usually contractors are allowed a margin of profit of about 15 percent, which is added to the cost estimates of materials and labor.
