I'm a managing partner at a holding company that does things a little differently, and we have a one stop shop for everything.

Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.
