Document background

The General Contractor Agreement Cost Plus Fee is particularly suitable for projects where the scope cannot be fully defined at the outset or where flexibility is required during execution. This contract type, governed by English and Welsh law, provides a transparent mechanism for managing costs while ensuring fair compensation for the contractor. It is commonly used in complex construction projects, renovations, or emergency works where traditional fixed-price contracts may not be suitable. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for cost monitoring, verification procedures, and fee calculations, while ensuring compliance with UK construction legislation and industry standards.
