JANUARY 14th | 1 PM EDT

Are you tired of losing money on custom projects?

  1. Risk & Margin Erosion with Fixed Price - You’re consistently losing profit by underestimating complex, custom projects.

  2. Client Price Shopping - You’re tired of homeowners who compare "apples to oranges" bids, choosing solely on the lowest number without understanding value differences.

  3. Change Order Conflicts - You’re tired of the tension when presenting a change order because of unknown site conditions or design changes.

  4. Transparency Demands: You want to serve modern clients who want to see where their money goes, but your fixed-price model doesn’t support this.

JOIN THE WORKSHOP

Why Contractors ARE Switching to Cost Plus:

  1. Reduced Financial Risk - No more "eating" unforeseen costs or hoping estimates are accurate.

  2. Quicker Project Starts - Don't need fully detailed plans to begin; can start sooner.

  3. Better for Complex/Custom Work - Each project is a "prototype" - cost plus handles uncertainty better.

  4. Transparency Builds Trust - Open-book approach where clients see actual receipts and trade invoices.

  5. Protection Against Material Volatility - Protects builders against material price swings and clients spending more than the allowance in the budget.

You’ll know exactly what clients should see, what stays internal, and how to report costs without inviting micromanagement.

You’ll be able to sell cost-plus confidently, without sounding vague or apologetic.

You’ll stop losing margin in small, invisible ways that never show up as a single mistake.
