A CPPC contract is one that is structured to pay the contractor his actual costs incurred on the contract plus a fixed percent for profit or overhead (that is not audited/adjusted) and which is applied to actual costs incurred.
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.
The construction contract price includes the direct project cost including field supervision expenses plus the markup imposed by contractors for general overhead expenses and profit. The factors influencing a facility price will vary by type of facility and location as well.
Disadvantages of cost-plus fixed-fee contracts may include: The final, overall cost may not be very clear at the beginning of negotiations. May require additional administration or oversight of the project to ensure that the contractor is factoring in the various cost factors.
Generally youll come across one of three types of contract on a project: fixed price, cost-reimbursable (also called costs-plus) or time and materials.

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.
Cost plus percentage contract means that as the project costs increase, the fee also increases. This is not typically used because the contractor has no incentive to control costs. In fact, federal government agencies are prohibited from using this type of contract.
Cost plus contracts should be used for designated purposes where it is difficult to assess an overall project and cost, but the budget has flexibility. It would be beneficial to enter into a cost plus contract where there is mutual trust between owners and builders who are able to have meticulous record keeping.
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.
A firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractors cost experience in performing the contract. This contract type places upon the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss.
