The Problem With “Fixed Price” Contracts
We’ve all heard the stories: a contractor sells a client on a fixed-price project, only for the budget to balloon later through endless change orders. It’s not always dishonesty—especially in renovations, hidden conditions are common, and no one can predict exactly what’s behind the walls. But the result is the same: frustration, mistrust and costs that feel out of control.

The Heritage Build Co. Approach
At Heritage Build Co., we believe character is non-negotiable. That means no smoke and mirrors with your money, no padded numbers “just in case” and no surprises buried in fine print. Instead, we use a Cost-Plus Contract that keeps you in charge at every step.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Transparency
  You’ll see exactly what your money is buying—materials, labor, subcontractors, permits, everything. We provide invoices and receipts, so there’s no mystery where each dollar goes.

• Flexibility
  Renovations often uncover the unexpected. With cost-plus, you can make changes without having to renegotiate a lump-sum contract or risk inflated pricing. This system adapts with your project rather than working against it.

• Fairness
  Instead of padding numbers to cover every “what-if,” we bill for actual costs plus a clearly defined fee. You only pay for what’s truly used, not for contingencies that may never happen.

• Alignment of Interests
  Because our profit is based on a fixed percentage—not on change orders—we’re never incentivized to cut corners or push unnecessary costs. Our success is directly tied to delivering the quality and value you expect.

The Bottom Line
When you work with Heritage Build Co. you stay in control of both the process and the budget. You get a partner committed to transparency, fairness, and excellence—because building your home should be exciting, not stressful.
