We primarily utilize Cost-Plus Fee contracts. This structure offers transparency and flexibility—ideal for the custom and complex nature of our residential and commercial projects.
What is a Cost-Plus Fee Contract?
In a Cost-Plus Fee contract, the client pays for the actual cost of labor, materials, and subcontractors, plus an agreed-upon fee for our project management, coordination, and overhead. We ensure full visibility into how we spend your project budget.
Why does Cianci Construction prefer Cost-Plus contracts?
This contract type aligns with our values of integrity, customization, and quality. Additionally, it provides clients with real-time budget updates, greater control over design changes, and ensures the project team works collaboratively rather than cutting corners to meet a fixed price.
Do we track project costs and share them with the client?
Yes. Clients receive detailed cost breakdowns and regular financial updates throughout the project. Our team documents and tracks every purchase and subcontractor invoice through our internal management system.
Do we charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the total cost?
We typically charge a fixed percentage of the total construction cost. We discuss this upfront during the proposal phase and clearly outline it in the contract.
How does this affect change orders or scope adjustments?
Because this model is flexible, we incorporate scope changes with client approval and transparently add the associated costs without renegotiating a lump-sum price.
