Builder Fee Included In Cost Per Sq Ft ?

[chitown]

Generally, when we are talking about cost per sq ft to build a house does that include the builders fee/percentage or is that amount on top of the sq ft cost? Thanks!

I would assume included.
Personally as a homeowner, I like "fixed cost" contracts, but need to get the contract and spec sheet tight under this situation.

If you are talking about a custom build, it depends whether you are looking at a fixed price vs a cost plus contract. It's always good to clarify.
