HOW DO YOU BENEFIT FINANCIALLY?
This model calculates to an estimated 20-25% saving on the total project cost referred to the
traditional model, where you pay the contractor a deposit and progress draws are requested.
When the contract is completed, 85% of the construction risk is eliminated
WHY?
- No hefty deposits required from client
- Financial risk for client referring to, non-performance of the contractor =reduced
drastically.
- It is an open book time management model – no hidden retainer/rebate fees from
subcontractors levied by contractor
- Client is aware of the actual costs and can manage their costing on the PC sums to
finish more effectively.
- Costing is managed daily and reports of progress are presented to the client on a regular
basis
- COD accounts are opened with the contractors suppliers in the clients name and reconciled
weekly as part of the project management process. An advantage for properties in a trust
or Pty (Ltd), referring to capital gains tax.
- If a client needs to apply for a bond to complete the final finishes – due to the level of
structural completion, the financial institutions has minimal risk and in our experience
bonds were approved with competitive rates.

indicated by the owner)
