Display Option Guidance

Lump Sum Pricing

  • Best for: Design-build projects, simplified proposals, fixed-price agreements
  • Customer sees: Total project price only
  • Use when: Detailed breakdown might confuse or isn't necessary

Full Detail Display

  • Best for: Cost-plus projects, transparent pricing relationships
  • Customer sees: Every line item, quantity, unit price, descriptions
  • Use when: Customer wants to understand exactly what they're paying for

Summary Display (Totals Only)

  • Best for: Middle ground between lump sum and full detail
  • Customer sees: Category totals without individual line items
  • Use when: You want to show pricing structure without overwhelming detail
