Types of construction contracts?

Construction contracts can be of multiple types depending upon the contract duration and the required work. These types are included as fixed-price contracts, unit fixed-price contracts, etc. A brief detail is narrated here about the types of construction contracts:

  • Fixed price contract types; A fixed-price contract type is the one contract that has a fixed price for all construction-related work. A fixed price incentive is paid at a time. But there can be some other incentives which may be included. These incentives can be like if one party terminates a contract then that party will have to pay some amount to the other party.
  • Cost-Plus contract; A cost-plus contract involves the real-time applicable money required by the construction company to purchase the products and perform services. This amount is then paid by the owner. Cost-plus contracts involve multiple sub-types for example cost-plus with a fixed service fee, cost-plus with bonus price, etc.
  • Time contract; Such type of contracts involves an hourly rate on daily basis. The owner pays this agreed amount of weight to the constructors. Such contract types are appreciated when the scope of the project or contract is not visible in the future. 
  • Unit price contracts; These contracts are contracts in which the owner will fix a price for a specific work request. These contracts are usually considered flexible, all the required costs will be paid by the owner and the service fee is the one that the owner will offer as a maximum. The constructors will have to agree and bid on that fixed price budget. 

These are some types of construction contracts that are common nowadays and being applicable in most jurisdictions.
