"Don't be
alarmed," he said. "you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who
was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place
where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is
going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as
he told you.' "

Pitfalls in Cost-Plus Contracts by Robert C. Foreman
Traditional bidding is giving way to other means of pricing and project delivery. More clients are using negotiated cost-plus contracts, many with a guaranteed maximum price and some with a savings split. In separate articles we have examined and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the various construction delivery methods including the traditional design-bid-build, design-build and partnering where the A111, Cost Plus Agreement is used. The cost-plus contract can be the best choice for many clients when certain conditions exist. However, they may also present difficulties for some Owners who are not familiar with Cost Plus Agreements. They can also be used by some contractors to increase their fees at the unknowing expense of the Owner. For a more extensive discussion on cost-plus contracts, read the entire article on the FSFarchitects.com website. |
