Fixed price contracts refer to a contract that your builder has agreed to that will set out the costs you will pay. This contract will not be affected by any unexpected or additional costs. This can be advantageous for both the developer or the builder. While the builder may charge more, the investor will have a clear understanding of the cost and will feel secure. Fixed-term contracts are also more appealing to lenders.
