Builders, Budgets, and Beers · Fixed Price vs Cost Plus with Chris Kerr · 24 Dec 2025 podcast

Well, I suppose it does the overhead and the fee get carried there.

But in that change order, I would probably put a couple hours of management time on that.

I think you should.

Yeah, man, I love it.

And so like, here's a scenario in cost plus what happens in the event where the builder did something wrong?

Like who, who, like, I'll use your pocket door example.

Say, say the design always showed pocket doors and the builder missed it.

So now they got to redo framing.

But it does amaze me that some contractors will audit who are getting paid on a time and material basis will sometimes try to charge you for that.

And it's like,

This is subs, you're saying?

Yeah?

You know, not often.

I mean, our guys are pretty good.

But, yeah, I mean, if it's not crystal clear, I mean, there is a feeling about some people that maybe they should be getting paid to do it twice.

I mean, that's the dirty laundry of the builder that I'm airing out right now.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I suppose that's another reason why as a client, you might be opposed to the cost plus model.

I mean, if you're not like truly locking subs in.
