Fixed-Price Contracts Are Changing Construction
In London’s fast-moving construction world, one innovation is reshaping how homeowners and architects approach building projects: fixed-price contracts. For decades, variable pricing, hidden variations, and unclear scopes created tension, budget shocks, and communication breakdowns. But that era is ending — and here’s how.
🎯 For Homeowners: Building With Confidence
Imagine a construction journey where what you agree to at the start is what gets delivered — with no nasty mid-project surprises. Fixed-price contracts do just that. With companies like 2VP leading the charge through their Fix & Clear system, clients now enjoy:
📋 A clearly defined scope from Day 1
📈 Weekly progress reports you can actually understand
🔍 A live dashboard to track every milestone
🛠️ 40 hours of free variations built into the plan
🏠 A 10-year HomePro insurance-backed warranty
It’s not just about peace of mind — it’s about clarity, structure, and trust. You no longer have to guess what’s happening behind the hoarding. You’re in control, without being on-site daily.
🧠 For Architects: Protecting Your Reputation
Architects have long carried the blame when things go wrong on site. With fixed-price delivery, those days are over. The best builders now provide architects with:
🧾 Weekly QS reports with real progress and forecasting
🎥 Live dashboards that clients can check without needing you to interpret
🖊️ On-site variation sign-offs — no design reapproval needed for minor tweaks
🚫 No pricing surprises that reflect back poorly on your practice
As one architect put it, “2VP makes me look good by actually doing what they promise — on time, on spec, and with zero dramas.”
⚙️ Technical Edge: Why It Works So Well
The modern fixed-price model isn't just about a lump sum — it’s an operational system. At 2VP, every project includes:
📅 Only 6–8 active jobs at any time (guaranteeing focus)
🧑💼 An M2 overseeing two M1 site managers
📷 Daily photo reports and dashboard entries
✍️ Co-signed variations (Client + M1 + M2) for accountability
🔒 A live record of costs and changes, accessible 24/7
This isn’t just a financial model — it’s a managed framework that eliminates grey areas, scope creep, and trust erosion.
✅ Ready to Build Smarter?
If you’re an architect protecting your designs — or a homeowner seeking a smooth, transparent build — fixed-price construction is the future. And with 2VP, that future starts now.
