ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Business Related Discussion What's a Fair Markup?

I am not sure what markup is in my area. However if we want to talk estimate times...

I work as the electrician for a county maint dept. We have a contractor that has a "cost plus" contract with the county that we do business with from time to time.

He includes the time he spent on the job going over it with us on his price. I think it says "site visit 2hrs".

The county pays him.
