Default Cost plus building contract

Anyone care to share what the current going rate is for builder's % mark-up is on a cost plus building contract (standard residential build)?

Thanks.

just under a year ago it was around 30%.

Tends to vary from builder to builder however.

30% is the benchmark every business strives for though.

Really? I'm certainly striving for higher margin than that.

After costs, where costs can be dependant upon structure.

Please re-read Blues post and reacquaint yourself with what a benchmark is.

Cost + 30% on everything would be nice!

Last renovator I had in charged invoice + 10%. I know it is different, but worth a comparison.

I'm well aware of what a benchmark is, I'm also capable of reading a post.

It was the bit where you said "every business" that got my attention. Perhaps you should be more succinct next time.

If we are referring to builders such as Celebrations, Scott Park etc then I do know it's quite high! Room to negotiate!

If any builder doesn't want to disclose it publicly, feel free to PM me.
