The three ways

  • Fixed price: you bill the agreed price, on the payment schedule.

  • % complete: you bill how far along each line is, with pay applications.

  • Cost plus: you bill your costs as they come in, plus your fee.

Cost plus

  • Set your Fee as a % of cost or a Fixed fee.

  • Set a Guaranteed maximum price if there is one: No cap, The approved budget, or Set an amount.
