It is standard for any general contractor to mark up subcontractor's
bids. As a General Contractor in exchange for the mark-up, SKC is taking
responsibility for coordinating the sub's work (i.e. making sure that
the plumber doesn't put a pipe where the heating sub needs to put a
duct...), paying the subcontractor, negotiating extra charges and/or
credits, verifying insurance coverage, and dealing with the
subcontractor if something gets screwed up it's SKC’s and the
subcontractors problem if the wrong sink was ordered after you provided
the correct information. If you were hiring the plumber directly, it's
YOUR problem and the subs problem.
