Listen "Fixed Price vs. Cost Plus Contracts"
Episode Synopsis
This week on The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Jeremy Martin of RisherMartin Fine Homes out of Austin, Texas, go deep into fixed-price vs. cost-plus contracts.
Jeremy and his partner, Chris Risher, have been in business together for a year, but they've been in the industry since 2010. They do a mix of architect-driven remodeling and new home building but started as a renovation company. They believe, as Matt does, that being a remodeler makes you a better builder because you can see what has gone wrong in the homes you're remodeling and take action to prevent those issues in new projects.
RisherMartin works mainly with fixed-price contracts, while Risinger Build works with cost-plus agreements. They drill into what makes a good fixed-price job and what's a better fit for a cost-plus builder, and what those processes look like.
Listen in while they discuss the risks and benefits of both business models for builders and their clients.
