The ConstructionOnline Team recently announced powerful new enhancements to Client Selections, introducing advanced Default Selection Markup Settings designed to help construction teams better capture real-world pricing strategies. These updates give users greater control over how markups are defined and applied, ensuring more accurate project costs and a smoother, more transparent client experience. 

Expanded Markup Type Options Improve Pricing Precision

With this release, ConstructionOnline™ introduces three flexible markup types that allow companies to tailor selection pricing to match their standard operating procedures:

• Flat Dollar ($): Applies a fixed dollar value to the selection total for straightforward markup needs.

• Percent (%): Calculates markup automatically as a percentage of the total cost, following the Project’s defined tax/markup calculation method:

  • Tax then Markup: Markup is calculated on Total Cost + Tax.

  • Markup then Tax or Tax and Markup Separate: Markup is calculated on Total Cost only.

• Per Unit ($/Unit): Adds markup per quantity unit, offering a more precise approach for materials-, labor-, or quantity-driven selections.

These markup types ensure that selection pricing more accurately reflects the diverse cost structures common across residential and commercial construction projects.

Scalable Controls from Company to Selection Level

The new Selection Markup Settings follow a flexible hierarchy similar to ConstructionOnline’s Project Tax Settings, giving teams complete control and consistency across projects:

• Company-Level Defaults: Establish baseline markup rules for all newly created projects. These settings can be configured under Financial Settings in the Account Settings Menu.

• Project-Level Overrides: Tailor markup rules to specific project needs using the Total Markup option available via the gray 3-dot Action Menu on the Project’s Selections list.

• Selection-Level Customization: Fine-tune markup for individual Client Selections during creation, providing maximum flexibility for unique items or special project requirements.

This structured approach allows companies to maintain consistent standards while still adapting easily to the unique pricing requirements of each job.

These recent enhancements reinforce ConstructionOnline’s commitment to delivering highly configurable, scalable financial management tools that evolve alongside the needs of modern construction teams. By empowering companies to manage costs with greater precision—and at every level of their workflow—ConstructionOnline continues to pave the way for smarter, more consistent pricing strategies across the entire project lifecycle.
