materials mark up?

[LlandrilloSpark]

Fellas this has probably been covered before, on average what percent do you mark up your materials?, I've always wanted to compare with others

 

[telectrix]

depends on what discount i get. anything from 20% to 50% mark up.

I don't tend to mark up on materials I just find out what the retail price is to public and charge that. Not that there's much difference in trade/public price nowadays.

depends on the size of the job and wether you want it or not, anything from 5%-10% for quality work from a well paying frequent customer depending on the value of the materials, to 30% for a small job I don't really want.

 

[Nolnoc]

multiply what you paid by 1.4

 

[JD6400]

15% , but that is after our trade discounts .

15% , but that is after our trade discounts .

I charge whatever the screwfix price is plus 10% miscellaneous at the bottom of the quote

On average that gives me about 20% in total

Rip off my arse !:32:

We could be fronting the costs of said materials for up to 6 months or more on the bigger / longer lasting jobs , would like to see their bank do the same !!!

Not having a go at you chap , it just really does get my back up with all this " being ripped off " , it is more likely going to be the customer shafting us now days !

As it happens we tend to get our regular customers to open their own accounts but on our discounts with our wholesalers .

 

[Martyc]

We charge 30% on materials at work.

Surely a materials mark up also is to cover for your time (if required) if the accessory develops a fault as well as everything else.

No mark up means any return visits are all at your own cost.

Mark back upto retail. Its the trader who gives a trade discount to professional worker, if the customer can get it cheaper, then let them supply it. No fuss.

 

[1shortcircuit]

Well I bet nobody charges Recommended Retail Price lol

 

[i=p/u]

For faulty items etc and things you forget..

Supplier not going to give you 10 squid cause you had to go back twice
