FAQ
Budget: A fixed-price contract is just that: fixed. The agreed-on price at the beginning of the project is the price at the end. Conversely, a cost-plus contract estimates a project's costs but doesn't set the final price until the project is completed.
What Is a Cost-Plus Contract? A cost-plus contract is one in which the contractor is paid for all of a project's expenses plus an additional fee for the job. The additional fee is intended to be the contractor's profit.
A: As an example, a cost-plus contract may establish that the total estimated cost of a building project is $10 million plus a fixed fee of $1.5 million, roughly 15% of the total cost, as the contractor's profit. So the total expense to the buyer would be approximately $11.5 million ?the cost plus the fee.
Unlike a fixed-cost construction contract, a cost-plus construction agreement is a contract in which the owner pays the contractor the actual costs of the materials and labor plus an additional negotiated fee or percentage over that amount.
Cost-plus contracts are generally used if the party drawing up the contract has budgetary restrictions or if the overall scope of the work can't be properly estimated in advance. In construction, cost-plus contracts are drawn up so contractors can be reimbursed for almost every expense actually incurred on a project.
Cost-plus contracts are majorly found in the construction industry where the contractor is reimbursed the number of expenditures made for the contract and fixed percentage fees of the contract cost as the profit made on the contract.

Cost Plus Contract Disadvantages For the buyer, the major disadvantage of this type of contract is the risk for paying much more than expected on materials. The contractor also has less incentive to be efficient since they will profit either way.
Cost plus fixed fee contracts can be used when both the contractor and the owner agree that the contractor is entitled to a fee in addition to the project expenses.
Fixed-Price Contract vs Cost Plus Contract The Cost-Plus Contract price is not fixed and the Builder only has to give the Owner a reasonable estimate of the works. The estimate is ascertained by adding a profit margin to the actual cost of direct materials, labour and expenses.
