It's called contractors inflating prices.
That abuse has been around for centuries. I know how they do it as well because contractors love to do the same for all of us who got screwed over by the hurricane and then milk people incredible prices for jobs that should be twice as less.
Contractors ask the suppliers to increase the amount of the actual good on the receipt and the contractors in general overspend not for sake of being short but because they can earn supplies off their clients.
A bag of cement will go for around 2.00USD? For a contractor that bag of cement will now cost you 5.00USD.
Many tried to pull that trick on me but I usually screw them over as I tell them "I shall buy the supplies" and as always it ends up costing me much less and simply have them work for the specific job. On top of that I watch them work just to piss them off because some love to not follow building codes yet they state "we shall make it by code".
I know what proper building code is as well because I was taught that when I worked in construction. So if they want to pull a fast one by saying "Thats how it goes, your trying to tell me?" bull.
Now, since government is not one person, they simply say ok give me the total cost, and I will pay.
