This Year
COST PLUS PLAN
GAINS IN FAVOR

What method to employ in building
at the present time is question
which is worrying the prospective
home builder. 1t is difficult to OBJ
tain contract price at the present
time, and many contractors have de-
clined this class of business. The
cost plus form Of contract Is being re-
sorted to generally, and in most Jobs
where this system is not used tie con-
tract price quoted is high enough to
cover the contractor. In comment
ing upon this, Building Age states:
This, Of course, is true to a certain
extent, yet experienced architects and
engineers seem generally not to favor
this form of contract. An investor
ma turally desires to know how much
his building is going to cost him in
order to be sure that the income will
be commensurate with the invest
ment.
Limit Sum Important.
TT logically follows that a limit
sum to be expended must be assured
the investor IL he is to look with favor
upon any form of the cost plus con
tract, either cost plus a fixed fee
or cost plus percentage
Certainly the lump sum contract
Is unfair to the contractor under the
present rapidly changing material
prices and wage scales. In self-pro-
lection he must either add a consid-
cradle amount to take care of con-
tingencies that may arise or must
have an agreement that will make
some allowance for advancing wages
and material prices In fact, some
contractors today will refuse to take
job except on the cost plus basis.
as they consider 1t too great a risk.
"Of course, much depends on the
contractors integrity. 1t is certainly
unfair to insinuate that a contractor
Will run up his costs as high as DOS
sible on percentage basis, for he Is
no more of crook than the average
business man, who has learned that
he must be honest if his business is
to succeed.
The contractor is as honest as are
his fellow business men, for II Is to
his best interests to be so. The crook
does not stay in business, for he will
be Stunned as soon as his undepend-
ability is discovered. He must play
fair with the public, his customers,
whatever may be his manipulating
or hard shrewdness. The contractor
is no exception to this rule"
