C2CPRO’s fees get calculated into total project cost, paid by the customer. The fee is fully transparent to both construction manager and customer at the time of signing.  

Customers who collaborate with a construction manager under C2CPRO’s one digital platform, seven easy steps, get access to transparency, savings, and security – which are features that the old way of building simply does not offer. Ultimately, under this model, the customer not only saves time and frustration, but they also experience significant savings to their overall project cost.

This means that, while the customer pays our fees, both the CM and customer end up with more in pocket at the end.

Definitely not! Standard contracts have serious shortfalls and Cost Plus Contracts have attempted to fix these shortfalls – badly.

While builders may at first feel that Cost Plus Contracts are the silver bullet they’re needing to solve the pressures they’re under, history has shown that builders under this contract face high dispute rates. Cost Plus may seem like the customer is getting transparency, but if the cost isn't ultimately accurate to the final amount, then is this "solution" really reducing stress for anyone?

These contracts are not a cure to a failing industry; they’re merely a Band Aid patching up the surface of a deep problem.

As part of the C2CPRO accreditation program, you’ll be given in depth insights as to why the C2CPRO construction management contract not only delivers better outcomes for builders, but more importantly for your business’s life blood: your customer. C2CPRO offers a cure, not a Band Aid.

C2CPRO is built around complaint construction management legislation, with leading construction lawyers providing the contract methodology.

We know that a lot of builders may be relying on lump sum payments from one job to pay for bills from another. Perhaps, for example, payments haven’t yet come through on one job, but, because you need to pay trades and suppliers now to get the job underway, you need to juggle money from one job to another.

In this scenario, you may need access to a lump sum to stay financially afloat. In this case, a major part of your job involves juggle cash between projects, trades, and suppliers – while your profit is whatever is left in the tin at the end. Handling money this way is extremely stressful.

Staying on top of payments can be very challenging. But is the QBCC going to care about how you’re forced to juggle cash if you run into any trouble and your trades and suppliers begin making demands? We all know the answer. If you’re open about cash flow stress, the QBCC may come down on you.

If you’re stuck in this cycle, it’s essential that you break out of it now.

C2CPRO offers a viable money management alternative within the platform, and it doesn’t involve you carrying lump sums, juggling payments, and enduring enormous financial burdens. To help you break the cycle, our support partners FINDEX Accountants – along with your regular accountant – offer advice and resources to help you find a better way forward.

The change can be transitional. You can keep doing things the way you’ve been doing them, while testing one project within C2CPRO to see how it compares. With our personal mentor program and your accountant on side, all it will cost you is some time to see if this method of operating can improve the service you provide to your customers and help you stand out from the crowd.

Imagine your business operating like this:

• You knew at contract signing exactly how much money you were going to make, rather than waiting to see what is left in the tin at the end
• You had great cash flow with your previous profit margin of, say, 20% becoming a construction management fee — paid weekly
• You had a joint security account in place to ensure customers funds were secured ahead of payments
• You had peace of mind that the payments from that account would go directly to trades and suppliers
• And you or your partner would never have to juggle payments or worry about your trades and suppliers being paid again
• You or your partner were unburdened from having to do administration such as BAS workcover or super on behalf of trades and suppliers
• You could undertake 5 times more work for the same assets you’d secured with QBCC
• You were able to lower your QBCC Net Tangible Asset needs by 75% for the same work you do now, meaning your home may not be on the line with them
• You generated a higher profit due to shedding administration costs and time required in admin, including less time wasted quoting
• You could establish a solid business plan from concept to completion, via a digital platform, and in  7 easy steps establish a great relationship with your client well ahead of the pack
• You knew you were protected by absolute transparency, savings and security — and that your customers were too
• You were able to gain a substantial competitive edge by being one of very few builders who can offer this security and efficiency to customers.

This reality is finally possible.
