The open-cost model: why you should know what you are paying for

Most price disputes do not start from the number itself, but from the absence of an explanation for it. The open-cost model simply means the buyer sees the components of the cost, not only the total.

The four components

  • Land share attributed to the unit by area.
  • Structure and construction works with approved quantities.
  • Finishing according to the agreed specification sheet and samples.
  • Management and supervision as a declared percentage, not a hidden margin.
We build trust in every detail — and cost is a detail that deserves to be written down.

With this model, any change in specification has a visible price impact, and the owners' union can approve or reject it in a documented decision before execution.

Ask for the cost statement in writing before signing — it is your simplest tool for comparison.
