About this episode
Reece sits down with Chris Kerr of White Oak Home to debate fixed price versus cost plus, and what each model really means for risk, profit, and client trust. They get into the real reason fixed price feels simpler for a small team, why missing receipts can quietly kill margin, and how job costing changes the whole conversation. You’ll also hear how to think about overhead, project management fees, and change orders when the client is still deciding mid build. If this helped, share it with a builder buddy and check out Adaptive for tighter job cost tracking.https://www.whiteoakhomenewengland.comShow Notes:00:33 Fixed vs cost plus05:13 Meet Chris Kerr08:17 Admin burden is real14:38 Risk and upside19:28 Budget vs actuals22:03 Overhead and profit26:17 Fixed fee PM30:59 Trust and ethics46:13 First draw nextFind Our Hosts: Reece BarnesMatt CalvanoPodcast Produced By:Motif Media
