I just saw a post on a construction-estimating forum from a user lamenting that their coworkers and customers largely do not understand the difference between markup and margin.
It made me remember the micro-debates about that I would have with dale-flythe every time we were closing out an estimate. This is the example I would always give while trying to explain it to him.
!markup-vs-margin#Markup vs. Margin
The user also stated that they would prefer to list overhead and profit separately from scope line item costs, but that their customers push back when they try.
I'm not sure where they got this preference. Sure that would be more "transparent", but it's at odds with the purpose of a breakdown.
