It signifies that a building surveyor is satisfied that the completed building work is suitable for occupation.

c) The fixed costs include the cost of the materials and labor along with indirect costs known as overhead. A cost plus contract is in which the price of construction is the costs plus an additional fee, normally designated as profit.

In a fixed fee contract, if market forces cause the value of the good or service to increase dramatically, the buyer receives a benefit while the seller loses potential profits he could have enjoyed outside of the fixed-price contract arrangement. When the price of the good or service drops suddenly, the buyer sits at a disadvantage and the seller at an advantage. On the other hand, the contractor is paid a negotiated amount regardless of incurred expenses in case of a cost plus contract.

f)Design/build: Under this method, an owner typically hires a single entity, the design/builder, to perform both design and construction under a single contract. Portions or all of the design and construction may be performed by the entity or subcontracted to other companies.

Design-bid-build: This is the most traditional process in the U.S. construction industry, where the owner contracts separately with a designer and a contractor. The design firm is hired to deliver 100 percent complete design documents. The owner or agent then solicits fixed price bids from contractors to perform the work.
