You are on the money. Cost plus jobs are a license to steal. pure and simple. Our church, really the preacher, just had to use a certain contractor and build cost plus. Took a $1.5 M project and made it a $3.2 M money pit.

Most cost +10% jobs really turn out to be 25-30% in the general contractor's hip pocket. Never figured out why the GC should make 25% on the plumber's work, etc.
