Adding a percent markup

To add a percent markup:

1. On the Summary Sheet toolbar, select the Totals/Markups option.

2. Right-click any row in the Totals/Markups panel and then select Insert New Below or Insert New Above.

   The Add Markup window appears.

3. In the Add Markup window, type in a description for the new markup and then select Percent for the markup Type.

   Note: If you inserted a Subtotal above the percent markup, the percentage markup uses the previous subtotal as the basis for calculating the amount. However, if you want the markup to be based on the project's net total, you can select the Applies to Net Total checkbox.

4. In the Value box, enter the percentage of the markup.

   You can then choose how to allocate the markup amount across the bid packages in the project.

5. If you want to limit the basis of the percent markup and how it is to be allocated across the project, select the Limit to WBSes option, and then select the WBSes to which to allocate the markups.

   Example: If you select Alternate, you could limit the percentage basis to specific alternates. Or, you could limit the percent markup to the costs associated with the base bid.
