General Contracting estimate FAQ

Where should contingency go?

Add contingency as its own item. Mark it up as a direct cost or bill it separately; either way you control whether the customer sees it.

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.
