Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Contract Definitions
A. From a Legal Point of View
Contract is a mutual agreement between two or more parties that
something shall be done, an agreement enforceable at law.
B. According to FIDIC
Contract means the General Conditions, the Supplementary Conditions,
the Specifications, the Drawings, the Bill of Quantities, the Tender, the
Letter of Acceptance, the Contract Agreement, and such further
documents as may be expressly incorporated in the Letter of Acceptance
or Contract Agreement.
C. According to Method of Payment
The agreement of how the owner will pay the contractor for work
performed such as a lump-sum or cost-plus payment.
TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Two broad categories:
 Price Given in Advance Contracts (Priced-based Contracts)
 Cost Reimbursement Contracts (Cost-based Contracts)
Factors Influencing the Choice of the Type of Contract
 The appropriateness for providing an adequate incentive for
efficient performance by the contractor
 The ability to introduce changes
 The allocation of risks
 The start and completion date of the project
Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
1.Lump Sum Contact
Sometimes called Drawings and Specifications Contract
a) Main Aspects of Lump Sum Contract
1. The contractor agrees to perform a stipulated job of work in
exchange for a fixed sum of money. In other words a single
tendered price is given for the completion of a specified work to the
satisfaction of the client by a certain date.
2. Payment may be staged at intervals of time on the completion of
milestones.
3. Useful for construction works:
 that can be accurately and completely described at the time of
bidding such as residential and building construction,
 when limited variation is needed,
 when level of risks is low and quantifiable, and
 when the client does not wish to be involved in the management
of his project.
4. The contractor is responsible for preparing his B.O.Q. i.e.
determination of work items, description of work items, obtaining his
own quantity form drawings and specifications and taking the
responsibility for the accuracy of the estimated quantities.
5. The responsibility is on the contractor to include in his price
everything necessary for carrying out the work.
b) Advantages of Lump Sum Contract
1. The final price is known, by the owner, before the work commences.
2. The contractor has more incentive to reduce his cost to increase the
profit.
3. The contractor hopes to complete the job as quickly as possible, to
minimize overhead, to maximize profit and to move to the next Job.

c) Disadvantages of Lump Sum Contract
1. A great deal of work should be done by the contractors prior to
preparing the estimate. It is wasteful of a skilled estimator’s time.
2. Changes in drawings and specifications can be very expensive and
source of trouble. In other words the contract has very limited
flexibility for design changes.
3. The contractor carries much of the risks. The tendered price may
include high risk contingency.
4. Competent contractors may decide not to bid to avoid a high-risk
lump sum contract.
2. Admeasurement Contract
Sometimes called Unit Price Contract
1. Includes Bill of Quantities Contract and Schedule of Rates Contract.
2. Payment is made (monthly) for quantities of work completed and
measured during the month. The client can introduce variations in the
work.
3. The contractor can claim additional payment for any changes in the
work content.
4. Tender price is usually increased by variations and claims.
a) Main Aspects of Unit Price Contract
1. Items of work of the contract are specified with estimated quantities in
the Bills of Quantities.
2. Estimated quantities are surveyed by Architect/Engineer.
3. Contractors enter unit prices against the estimated quantities of work.
4. The contract is based on estimated quantities of work items and unit
price for each of these work items.
5. Payment is made on the basis of units of work actually done and
measured in the field multiplied by the unit prices.
Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
6. Re-determination of unit prices when substantial quantity deviations
occur is stipulated in contract conditions.
7. Useful on projects where the nature of the work is well defined, but
the quantities of work cannot be accurately determined in advance of
construction. Suitable for highways, dams, airports…
b) Advantages of Unit Price Contract
1. Saving the heavy cost of preparing many bills of quantities by the
contractors.
2. Fair basis for competition.
3. In comparing with lump-sum contract,
 Changes in contract documents can be made easily by the owner.
 Lower risk for contractor.
c) Disadvantages of Unit Price Contract
The exact final price of the project is not known to the owner until the
completion of the project.
3. Cost Plus Contracts
Sometimes called Cost Reimbursement Contract
a. Main Aspects of Cost Plus (Cost Reimbursement Contract)
1. The contractor will be reimbursed for all actual costs plus an
agreed fee to cover his services (overhead and profit).
2. The contractor must make all his records and accounts available
for inspection by the client or by some agreed neutral third party.
3. The fee can be designated as:
 A fixed percentage of the cost of the work.
 A fixed fee.
 A fixed fee with a guaranteed top price.
 A fixed fee with bonus.
 A fixed fee with an arrangement for sharing any cost saving.
Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
Suitable:
 when the requirements of the client are vague,
 when it is desirable for design to proceed concurrently with
construction
 for emergency projects, repairs, maintenance work, and alterations.
 for project with unknown technologies or major changes.
 where the contractor possesses a special ability.
 when the client wishes to be involved in contract management.
 Confidential processes.
b. Advantages of Cost Plus Contract
1. Start construction without waiting for the whole set of drawings and
specifications.
2. More flexibility for the owner to make changes as work progresses.
3. Draw the contractor expertise during design.
c. Disadvantages of Cost Reimbursement Contract
1. It is difficult to predict the final cost and the distribution of it, which
may cause financial problems to the owner.
2. Contractor pays less attention to cost control.
3.1 Cost Plus Percentage of Cost Contract
a. Main Aspects of Cost plus Percentage of Cost
1. The contractor is reimbursed for all his costs with a fixed % age of
costs to cover his services.
2. Project/site overheads may be covered by the %age or computed as
one of the costs.
b. Advantages of Cost plus Percentage of Cost
1. Construction can start before design is completed.
Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
2. If the contractor is efficient in the utilization of resources then the
cost to the client should represent a fair price for the work
undertaken.
c. Disadvantages of Cost plus Percentage of Cost
1. The project total cost is completely unknown before the project
start.
2. No incentive for the contractor to be efficient in his use of labors,
materials or equipment.
3. Minimum efficiency maximizes the profit.
4. Owner must exercise tight cost control, which may be difficult
and/or costly.
3.2 Cost plus Fixed Fee Contract
a. Main Aspects of Cost plus Fixed Fee
1. The owner pays all costs of construction with a fixed sum of money.
The fee is fixed and does not fluctuate with the actual cost of the
project.
2. The work must be fairly well defined by the owner.
b. Advantages of Cost plus Fixed Fee
1. There is incentive for the contractor to complete the work as quickly
as possible since his fee remains constant.
c. Disadvantages of Cost plus Fixed Fee
1. Major variations create problems. The fee must be re-negotiated to
take account of such variations.
2. The speed of commencing the work is undermined since before a
fee can be agreed a fairly detailed description of work must be
made.
3.3 Cost Plus Fixed Fee Plus Profit Sharing Contract
Procurement Management and Contract Administration (COTM 4242): TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
It is also Known as Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract (GMP)
a. Main Aspects of Cost Plus Fixed Fee Plus Profit Sharing
Contract
1. The contractor guarantees that he will construct the project in full
accordance with the drawings and specifications and that the price
to the owner will not exceed some total upset price.
2. If the price of the work exceeds the assured maximum, the
contractor pays for the excess.
3. Contracts are often competitively bid in a manner similar to that for
lump-sum contracts, but managed as cost plus.
4. The successful bidder is determined on the combined basis of his
quoted maximum price and fixed fee.
5. The contractor and owner agree to a target estimate of
construction.
6. Bonus or penalty arrangements are tied to this target figure.
7. The work must have a fairly definite nature. Drawings and
specifications must be sufficiently developed to enable a reasonably
accurate cost to be determined.
8. Cost target sharing of
・ profits
b. Advantages of Cost Plus Fixed Fee Plus Profit Sharing
Contract
1. There is an incentive to carry out the work as quickly and as
economically as possible.
2. The client also stands to benefit through the contactor's
efficiency.
c. Disadvantages of Cost Plus Fixed Fee Plus Profit Sharing
Contract
1. Difficulties may arise in agreeing on a revised target cost if there are
major variations or cost inflation.

Mada Walabu University Andualem Endris (M.Sc)
2. A tight cost control must be exercised, which may be difficult and/or
costly.
