        "text": "General contractors typically charge for their services using one of several methods: a fixed-price contract, a cost-plus contract, or a time-and-materials contract. A fixed-price contract offers a single, all-inclusive price for the entire project. A cost-plus contract involves the client paying for actual project costs plus a pre-agreed percentage or fixed fee for the contractor's overhead and profit. Time-and-materials contracts are common for smaller projects where costs are less predictable, billing for hours worked and materials used. The best method depends on the project's scope and client preferences.",
