The Cost Plus Masterclass.
JOIN THE WAITLIST NOW TO BE FIRST IN LINE
The proven system to run cost-plus projects with confidence, clarity, and consistent profit.
Whether you're using fixed-price and feeling the pressure of tight margins and change order chaos, or you're already running cost-plus projects without a clear system—this masterclass is for you.
You’ll learn the six core elements—plus the key details—that separate builders who guess their way through jobs from those who run cost-plus projects with confidence, control, and consistent profit.
We’ll show you how to price your work, manage internal costs, invoice with clarity, and communicate transparently with clients—while protecting your bottom line at every stage.
What You’ll Learn
Selling the Cost-Plus Model: Learn how to clearly explain the cost-plus model, position it as a win-win for you and the client, and handle common objections with confidence.
Defining Your Pricing Model: Define your pricing model—including markup and internal labor charge-out rates—and price your projects with confidence.
Confident Cost Tracking: Set up a simple, reliable system to track job costs as they happen—so you stay on budget, spot issues early, and make decisions with confidence.
Professional Client Reporting: Deliver clear, easy-to-understand cost reports that give clients visibility into spending without inviting confusion or unnecessary oversight.
Structured Invoicing Process: Set up a structured invoicing process that keeps clients informed in real time, supports smoother decision-making, and prevents frustration from unpredictable billing swings.
Managing Unbillables: Learn how to handle unbillable costs—when to absorb them, when to push back, and how to talk about them with clients without damaging trust.
