Friday Facts: we are a “Fixed-Fee” Custom Home Builder and we believe that is a huge WIN for our clients - here’s why:
1. Eliminating Budget Uncertainty
• The Cost-Plus Risk: You cannot know your final total price upfront. The contract relies on estimates, and actual costs typically exceed predictions.
• The Fixed-Fee Advantage: We provide guaranteed pricing, absorbing the risk of market fluctuations so your budget remains predictable, with only a few exceptions that are tied to specific allowances.
2. Reducing Construction Stress
• The Cost-Plus Risk: Project specifications are often left vague at signing. This creates friction, delays, and surprise expenses during production.
• The Fixed-Fee Advantage: We finalize all material selections and specifications before breaking ground, ensuring a smooth and predictable build. Exceptions being items tied to allowances such as plumbing and electrical fixtures.
3. Aligning Incentives
• The Cost-Plus Risk: Builders are financially incentivized to use more expensive subcontractors and supplies. As your bill grows, their fee increases.
• The Fixed-Fee Advantage: Our compensation is decoupled from material inflation. We leverage our vetted, cost-efficient vendor network to save you money.
4. Ensuring True Transparency
• The Cost-Plus Risk: Verifying every line item requires audit-level scrutiny. Builders rarely provide full copies of all raw receipts or clear accounting of internal employee hours.
• The Fixed-Fee Advantage: Clear, upfront pricing eliminates the need for open-ended billing audits and complex invoice tracking.
