HOW IT WORKS

Construction price buildup and markup calculator

Build a selling price from the bottom up without forcing your estimate into a trade-specific template. Add supplier material quotes, direct costs and labor, then apply separate markup percentages and review the final bid.

Flexible cost buildup

Material quotes use free-text descriptions, supplier/vendor names and quote totals. Equipment / rentals, miscellaneous costs and custom other-cost lines let the same calculator work across different construction trades.

Markup and margin are shown separately

BidSimp shows direct cost, markup dollars, final bid price, effective markup on cost and gross margin on sell price. Use Show the Math to see how each number was built.

Need quantities before pricing? Start with the ACT ceiling, metal framing, drywall, insulation or blocking calculator.
