When working with architects I also put in a "Cost not to exceed" clause...
Works great. Our local architects charge by the hour, with a guestimate of cost up front. I always say thats fine, but their final labor bill cannot exceed that cost plus 10%, regardless of how much work it actually takes. This leads to more accurate estimates, and locks in my cost...
You can also put in a similar clause for materials/etc...
