Construction Contracts Built for Success

Understanding the various types of construction contracts is essential for choosing the right one for your project. Each has unique features that can impact your project’s costs, timelines, and risk allocation. 

At Sul Lee Law, we take the time to learn about the scope of your construction project and explore various options, such as:

  • Lump-sum contracts involve a fixed price for the entire project. They are straightforward and provide cost certainty but may include higher bids to cover potential risks.
  • Cost-plus contracts, under which the owner pays for all project costs plus a predetermined fee or percentage, provide flexibility but can lead to higher costs if not carefully managed.
  • Time and materials contracts cover the cost of materials and labor plus a markup. They are ideal for projects with uncertain scopes but require close monitoring to control costs.
  • Unit price contracts are based on the agreed price for each unit of work. This type is helpful for projects with repetitive tasks but requires accurate quantity estimation.
  • Design-build contracts combine design and construction services into one contract, promoting collaboration but limiting the owner’s control over design details.

Each contract type has advantages and is suited to different project scenarios. Sul Lee Law can help you select a construction contract that best suits your project’s specific needs and objectives.
