Choosing the right contractor for your project is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Too often, homeowners and businesses get stuck with vague estimates, hidden markups, or confusing invoices that make it hard to know where the money is really going.
Cost Plus Contracting (CPC) was founded to change that. Our approach is simple: we believe in radical transparency. With CPC, you see exactly what we pay for labor, materials, and parts—then we apply a straightforward markup. No games, no surprises, just honest construction at a fair price.
Whether you’re planning a major remodel, need roofing or HVAC services, or want a partner for ongoing property improvements, CPC is built to deliver quality and accountability at every step.
What Is Cost Plus Contracting?
Traditional contractors often provide lump-sum bids with little explanation of how costs are calculated. That leaves customers wondering how much of their money is going to actual work versus hidden markups.
With cost plus contracting, it’s different. Here’s how it works:
-
Direct Costs – You see what we pay for materials, parts, and labor.
-
Open Books – Every invoice, receipt, and labor hour is tracked and shared with you.
-
Simple Markup – CPC adds a fixed percentage (our profit margin) on top of actual costs.
The result is total clarity. You know exactly where your money goes, and you can feel confident that you’re paying only what’s fair.

The CPC Difference: Paying Workers Fairly
Most contracting companies charge clients one hourly rate, then pay workers far less. That gap can be enormous—sometimes a technician billed at $100/hour takes home only $20–25/hour.
At Cost Plus Contracting, we do things differently. The customer pays exactly what the laborer earns, plus our fixed markup. That means:
-
Workers are compensated fairly for their skills.
-
Clients see every labor cost without mystery.
-
Everyone benefits from honesty and fairness.
By aligning the interests of the client, the contractor, and the workforce, CPC creates a system where everyone wins.
FAQs About Cost Plus Contracting
Is cost plus more expensive than traditional contracting?
Not at all. In fact, many clients save money because they’re not paying hidden markups. The transparency ensures you only pay what’s actually needed, plus a reasonable margin.
How do I know I can trust the invoices?
We provide copies of every supplier invoice and payroll report. You’ll see the same numbers we do.
What if my project changes midway?

Yes. CPC works with homeowners, property managers, and businesses on projects of all sizes.
Can I get a free estimate?
Absolutely. We’ll walk through your project, outline potential costs, and explain exactly how the cost-plus model applies to your situation.
