Remember that is margin, and margin is the proportion of the price they sell to you, so that is 25% ON retail, and then it depends what retail is... So they may buy at RRP, but get rebates on quantities etc. or rebates on bundling (all CSR products or Boral products). It's difficult to see what they would really pay for any item. So I would expect 25% on RRP to be "reasonable". Remember also, that any change requires admin, paperwork, delivery and drawings, a sink would require bench and tap changes (maybe), tradesman costs. And every change is an opportunity to stuff things up. An exchange won't be RRP for RRP, they would buy the standard items in the builders' range at a massive discount, add-ons at close to RRP, plus all the ancillary cost mentioned. Many builders would rather build identical homes, no changes. Ed "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when you’re happy we are happy.
