"After nearly eight years of national prosperity in the construction industry, there continues to be one prominent shortage: time. The only way to gain on the situation is to use time better.

However, if you are going to be successful with No. 10, you'll need to demonstrate competence in Nos. 1-9."

"With cost plus a fixed fee, the client signs a contract for the $60,000 plus the cost of construction, which is priced at the builder’s actual out-of-pocket cost. Whether the house costs $350,000 or $500,000, the client still pays $60,000 for the builder’s overhead and profit.

The advantages are obvious. If the cost exceeds the estimate, the builder isn’t making a fatter fee. Getting the job done and moving on to another one will be to his advantage. However, the builder will not be taking such a bath that he is likely to walk off the job or go bankrupt, a real risk for smaller builders."
