Two sides of the same coin. You can insist on the fixed price, of course. On the other hand, the developer or contractor will then try to minimize their loss, e.g. by saving on materials or pushing subcontractors on price until they also have to make money in the end.
That is unlikely to increase the probability of receiving a defect-free house.
I come from industry; this year we have already adjusted prices twice. Such extreme price explosions cannot be planned for. They eat up the profits of the last 5 years. In the end, the developer goes bankrupt... and then?
As a contracting party, one should not have too much sympathy for construction companies. If it had been different, none of them would have come up with the idea of reducing the price for customers afterward. Better to invest the money in an expert who ensures that no corners are cut.
