Description
A Cost Plus Contract is a unique agreement in which the Contractor is reimbursed for the actual costs of materials and labor, plus an additional fee for their services. An example of this in Broward could involve a homeowner who wants to add an extension to their house. The Contractor estimates costs for labor and materials and adds an agreed-upon percentage or flat fee for their work. This type of contract allows flexibility for changes, as costs directly reflect any adjustments made during the project. Key features of this contract include the explicit scope of work, responsibilities regarding permits, and provisions for additional costs related to soil conditions. Clients are required to provide necessary documentation, like surveys, before work begins. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form for clarity in project financial management, ensuring all parties understand their obligations and the payment structure. It streamlines construction projects by allowing modifications through written Change Orders, helping prevent disputes over costs.
