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.
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.
The construction contract price includes the direct project cost including field supervision expenses plus the markup imposed by contractors for general overhead expenses and profit. The factors influencing a facility price will vary by type of facility and location as well.
Types Cost plus fixed-fee (CPFF) contracts pay costs plus a pre-determined fee that was agreed upon at the time of contract formation. Cost-plus-incentive fee (CPIF) contracts have a larger fee awarded for contracts which meet or exceed certain performance goals, for example being on schedule and any cost savings.
Cost Plus Fixed Fee ? Contractor compensation is based on a fixed sum independent of the final project cost. The customer agrees to reimburse the contractor's actual costs, regardless of amount, and in addition pay a negotiated fee independent of the amount of the actual costs.
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.
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.
The construction contract price includes the direct project cost including field supervision expenses plus the markup imposed by contractors for general overhead expenses and profit. The factors influencing a facility price will vary by type of facility and location as well.
There are three basic types of pricing arrangements in construction contracts: (1) stipulated sum (also known as fixed price or lump sum), (2) cost plus (with or without a guaranteed maximum or not-to-exceed price), and (3) unit price.
When the parties are proactive in the formation and negotiation of the agreement, the cost-plus contract can be a beneficial contract for both parties.
