Cost Planning
The method for pricing has changing for more and more builders and designer-builders. Many of them have implemented a different method of pricing, sometimes called “cost analysis” or “cost planning” or even “value engineering.” The cost analysis method takes into consideration his rates and fees for general contracting, administration, and labor and the price of the cost analysis. If the client chooses his cost analysis, the builder will obtain quotes and estimates from subcontractors and suppliers. These estimates and prices are compared with the client’s budget. If they do not mix, then alterations are made until the client is happy with the work that will be completed. With the “cost planning” approach, the builder and the client form a team.
