The agreement also protects the builder and all the subcontractors + suppliers involved in a project. Also included in the agreement are Plans\/Specs and a detailed Project Budget. An architect normally supplies the Plans and Specs, and the builder provides the Project Budget. These three documents \u2013 1. the Cost-Plus Construction Agreement, 2. the Plans & Specs and 3. the Project Budget \u2013 are all reviewed, agreed upon and signed before work begins on any new project.<\/p>\n Regarding the estimate aka the Project Budget, the Builder provides an estimate to the client for all the work to be performed. This estimate normally includes a weekly fee for managing the project. This fee is called the Project Management fee. Once the actual cost of the project is determined, the Builder adds his General Contractor (GC) fee to the bottom line. The GC fee is also referred to as the Builder\u2019s profit and overhead.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on”
