STUDY REVEALS WIDE RANGING DATA

ABOUT NARI MEMBERS

A recent study by the Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI) compared various metrics

of business productivity and success of NARI members versus non-NARI remodeling compa-

nies NARI members far exceeded non-NARI members in several important areas

NARI members tend to manage larger businesses having on average 25 times as many

employees than non-NARI businesses

NARI member company employees were also found to be twice as productive when meas-

ured by average sales per employee

In sales and productivity NARI members generated over four times more sales by average

dollar volume annually

The HIRI study also revealed some general information about NARI members 95 of the re-

spondents were individually owned companies 79 of the respondents were general contrac-

tors 99 reported doing business remodeling or repairing existing homes while just 37 re-

ported working on commercial buildings NARI appears to attract those who want to be the

best in their industry Click here to see the results of the entire survey
