How to Create a Cost Markup

Cost Markups in Buildend allow you to apply additional costs—such as overhead or profit—either as a flat amount or a percentage. Here’s how to create a cost markup:

  • Click on your Profile Avatar in the top right corner of the screen.

  • Select Settings from the dropdown menu.

  • In the left-hand navigation, scroll down to Data Settings and click on Objects to expand the list.

  • Click on Cost Markup.

Create a New Cost Markup

  • Click + New Cost Markup.

    Fill in the following details:

    • Markup Name

    • Markup Type (choose either Flat or Percentage)

    • Markup Value

    • Select the Cost Types that this markup will apply to

Optional Configurations

  • Minimum Value (if applicable)

  • Maximum Value that the markup can apply to

    Enable whether the markup should apply to:

    • Baseline Schedule Value on a contract

    • Change Order Schedule Value on a contract

  • After entering and reviewing all information, click Submit to create the cost markup.

Your new cost markup will now be available for use in estimates and contract configurations throughout Buildend.
