Many homeowners want a fixed price contract for their construction project, but is that going to get them the best value for their money? Fine Homebuilder Kevin Cradock joins me to discuss fixed price contracts versus time and materials contracts, or cost plus.

About our guest:

Kevin Cradock grew up in Jamaica Plain surrounded by classic homes that awakened a love of carpentry and an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship.

Beginning his career as a finish carpenter renovating classic Boston homes, Kevin gradually moved toward creating distinctive custom cabinetry for his building and renovation projects. By the mid-1990’s he established his own workshop, and in collaboration with local designers, he devoted himself to crafting the finest custom millwork, cabinetry and furniture available.

Today Kevin oversees a large crew of managers, carpenters and woodworkers. He works closely with architects, designers and homeowners, building and renovating homes and crafting cabinetry, furniture, and millwork to meet each customer’s taste and lifestyle.
