Who is this for?

You’re a remodeler or custom home builder tired of the stress, confusion, and underbilling that comes with running cost-plus jobs without a solid system. You’ve tried winging it — now it’s time to do it right.

This program is for you if:

  • You’re using fixed price but want more flexibility

  • You’ve done cost-plus before, but lack structure

  • You need better client communication and financial tracking

What You’ll Learn

In this live masterclass, we’ll tackle the five core areas critical to running Cost Plus projects profitably:

  1. Introduction to Cost-Plus Construction: Learn exactly how the cost-plus model works, its pros and cons, and how to confidently sell it to clients who value transparency.

  2. Contract Structure, Fees & Risk Management: Build airtight cost-plus agreements with clear markups, payment schedules, and terms that protect both your business and your client.

  3. Estimating, Budgeting & Change Orders: Develop accurate, transparent budgets that earn client trust—and learn how to manage cost changes without friction or confusion.

  4. Expense Management, Documentation & Unbillables: Master the systems for tracking, categorizing, and documenting every job cost so nothing slips through the cracks or eats into your profit.

  5. Invoicing, Reporting & Project Closeout: Deliver professional, easy-to-approve invoices, maintain client confidence with clear reporting, and wrap up projects cleanly with deposits and trade bills closed out.
