    Marking up materials

    Hi All, Does everyone mark up their materials? If so by how much? A set percentage on all items? Pick & choose items you mark up? Customers can get a lot of stuff now the same as us so being still very fresh to pricing our own jobs was just wondering how to gauge things? Cheers
