Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
I provide a project total and that's all. I had one client ask for a material and labor breakdown, said she wanted to know exactly the number of block and brick going in at her house. I obliged.

She was the worst customer I've had in my life, and we ended our relationship in court.

We're almost never asked now, and when we are, two things happen:

1) I tell them "we don't break out our projects that way", and

2) I consider the huge red flag that was just raised, and decide if I still want to do business with that client. If not, I walk.

You might want to consider the same.
