Products or materials cost?
Most carpenters prefer to purchase their own materials as they can ensure the quality they will be working with. These materials will either be included in the lump sum quoted or itemised at cost on the invoice. Most carpentry jobs involve some wastage of materials and you should discuss with your carpenter whether he removes the extra 'leftovers' or leaves them for you to keep. Usually these amounts are not significant.
