Electrical estimate FAQ
Can I bill permits at cost?
Yes. Mark the permit as a pass-through charge and it is billed at your cost without markup.
Will my customer see my costs?
No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.
Do the suggested items include prices?
No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
