Cost-plus contracts are similar to lump sum contracts in that the owner agrees to pay the contractors costs, including labor, subcontractors, equipment and materials and an amount for the contractors profit and overhead. But instead of a lump sum to cover all the expenses, those costs are reimbursed individually.
Cost-plus contracts are generally used if the party drawing up the contract has budgetary restrictions or if the overall scope of the work cant be properly estimated in advance. In construction, cost-plus contracts are drawn up so contractors can be reimbursed for almost every expense actually incurred on a project.
Budget: A fixed-price contract is just that: fixed. The agreed-on price at the beginning of the project is the price at the end. Conversely, a cost-plus contract estimates a projects costs but doesnt set the final price until the project is completed.
Fixed-price contracts, also known as firm-price or lump-sum contracts, are agreements in which the two parties state the goods or services one party will provide and establish the price the other party will pay for them. In some ways, theyre similar to the prices of goods at the grocery store.
A cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is a cost-reimbursement contract that provides for payment to the contractor of a negotiated fee that is fixed at the inception of the contract. The fixed fee does not vary with actual cost, but may be adjusted as a result of changes in the work to be performed under the contract.

If the Actual Cost is higher than the Target Cost, say 1,100, the client will pay: 1,100 + 100 + (1,000 - 1,100) * 0.2 = 1,180 (contractor earns 80). If the Actual Cost is lower than the Target Cost, say 900, the client will pay: 900 + 100 + (1,000 - 900) * 0.4 = 1,040 (contractor earns 140).
16.306 Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts. This contract type permits contracting for efforts that might otherwise present too great a risk to contractors, but it provides the contractor only a minimum incentive to control costs.
For these reason I recommend avoiding cost-plus contracts in most cases. They simply carry too many risks for the owner and few benefits. They often lead to cost overruns and disputes over money. Its better to nail down as many costs as possible before starting the job and get a fixed bid.
Budget: A fixed-price contract is just that: fixed. The agreed-on price at the beginning of the project is the price at the end. Conversely, a cost-plus contract estimates a projects costs but doesnt set the final price until the project is completed.
Some advantages of a CPFF contract can include: The final cost may be lower than in a normal contract, as the contractor usually will not inflate prices to cover risks. The contractor also has less incentive to control the project costs (in contrast to other types of contracts, such as a fixed-price contract)
