That's not quite the same is it.
If I get my bike serviced at the bike shop, and the bloke says you need a new Chain and rear cog, he will presumably go over to the shop shelf and pick up the chain and the rear cog and I get charged the sticker price.
What he doesn't do is pick it up off the shelf, add 20pc for doing so, and then pass on the extra to me.

In this example, the bike shop isn't charging you COST PRICE, they are charging you their retail, which is cost price (the price they paid for the parts) plus their margin. And you're happy with that.
Why are you not happy for a builder to do the same thing?

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me, did they invoice the contractors and take payment from you?
To me it’s like getting your bike serviced and expecting to get the parts at cost coz you’re paying for labour time
