Construction Product Margin Dollars at 110% share of units at full target margin: a worked example

This scenario runs the construction product margin dollars calculation on the strong side: 110% share of units at full target margin, with every other input held at its documented default. checking whether a quote or product package carries enough margin dollars

The inputs for this scenario

  • Eligible construction product units sold: 210 units (unchanged)
  • Target margin dollars per unit: 62 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Share of units at full target margin: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed project margin reserve: 2,500 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable margin dollars = eligible construction product units × target margin dollars per unit × margin scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 16,822 $ for target construction product margin dollars, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 80.1 $ / piece for margin dollars per unit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 14,322 $ for variable margin dollars.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2,500 $ for fixed project margin reserve.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of units at full target margin sits at 100% and the headline result is 15,520 $, this scenario comes in 8.39% above the baseline at 16,822 $.
  • Use it when quoting or reviewing an order where you want a dollar margin floor rather than a percentage, especially mixed orders with discounted or promotional units. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
