Margin vs markup, solved
See both numbers side by side, so a 35% margin never gets mistaken for a 35% markup.
Labor, materials and services split
Each line knows what it is, so your reports show where the money goes.

Good to know.
Are the template prices accurate for my area?
They are national averages meant as a starting point. Change any cost once and it is saved for next time.
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit as a share of the price. Markup is profit as a share of your cost. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin. The builder shows both.
