This early collaboration promotes effective project coordination and communication from the start, creating an environment for success. FBS is a flexible construction company that will operate under various contract types and fee structures (e.g., cost plus, guaranteed maximum price, percentage fee, and fixed fee) to meet the client’s needs.
