from Building Brews and BBQ · host Vincent Longo & Nathan Walters
In this episode of Building, Brews, and BBQ: The House That Wisdom Built, we’re getting real about contracts — and yes, Vince is salty about it. We break down the good, the bad, and the downright ugly side of Cost Plus contracts (spoiler: we think they’re lazy, risky, and often misleading).Whether you’re building a $500K home or a $5 million estate, the contract you choose can make or break your experience. We’re pulling back the curtain on what builders really mean when they say “Cost Plus,” why it’s become so popular (even when it shouldn’t be), and how Fixed Price contracts might just save your sanity.We talk trust, transparency, builder accountability, and why pre-construction matters way more than most people think. If you’re starting the custom home journey — or you’re a builder navigating client expectations — you’ll want to pour a strong drink and tune in.📥 Download the FREE Freedom Guide:This companion resource includes bonus tips and more info on selecting the right team for your build.
