Contarct Without Material
A variety of factors make a construction contract different from most other types of contracts. These include the length of the project, its complexity, its size and the fact that the price agreed and the amount of work done may change as it proceeds. The structure may be a new building on virgin ground. It may involve the demolition of an existing building and its full reconstruction. It could involve partial demolition and rebuilding, or the refurbishment and extension of an existing building or structure. This may be mostly below ground (in which case it is engineering) or above ground (in which case it is building). Building, however, includes foundations and other underground works. A building contract can consist of activities and services carried out both above and below ground. n entire contract for the sale of goods and work and labour for a lump sum price payable by in stalments as the goods are delivered and the work done. Decisions have to be made from time to time about such essential matters as the making of variation orders, the expenditure of provisional and prime cost sums and extension of time for the carrying out of the work under the contract.
