Can I apply custom margins/profits and configure the spread of margins and overhead costs over my schedule items?
Yes. Expert Estimation allows numerous ways of applying margins and profit to your project. Margins may be applied as a percentage to all costs or to your final contract value. You may also apply different percentages to different resource types (labour, plant, material or subcontract) or cost types (direct costs, overhead costs, risks and opportunities etc) and to particular subsets (sortcodes) of resources (e.g. all hired plant to only get 5% margin). As well as percentages, margin may also be added as a plain value to the project costs. The spread distribution of the overhead and margins over the direct costs may be configured to spread evenly over the direct cost items based on cost, in varying proportions over different resource types, or spread based on the resource content of each item. The spread distribution may also be configured item by item allowing you to choose whether to spread overheads and/or margins over items, or for some items to have no spread at all. Other options
