Different Types of Markup in Commercial Construction
Markup in commercial construction is more than a percentage added to costs — it’s a strategic decision that impacts cash flow, overhead recovery, and long-term profitability. Understanding when to use cost-plus, fixed-price, sliding-scale, or risk-adjusted markup can help contractors protect margins and grow with confidence.

Discover how construction contract financing can transform growth for subcontractors. Learn to align capital with project execution, preserve your balance sheet, and use funding strategically—not as a crutch, but as leverage for confident, sustainable growth.
Does Increased Volume Reduce Overhead in Construction?
Learn why higher construction volume doesn’t automatically reduce overhead, how growth really impacts cash flow, and what contractors must plan for to scale sustainably.
Why Profitable Contractors Still Struggle With Cash Flow
Cash flow is a problem in construction because costs are incurred upfront while payments arrive weeks or months later. Even with “30-day payment terms,” most contractors wait 60 days or more for cash to hit their account.
Many commercial subcontractors are doing everything right on paper. They’re bidding competitively, winning better work, and maintaining disciplined markups. Yet as the company grows, cash feels harder to access, decisions feel riskier, and growth starts to strain the organization instead of strengthening it.
