The Cost Plus Construction Agreement is particularly suitable for complex construction projects in Malta where the scope of work cannot be fully defined at the outset or where flexibility is required in the execution of works. This contract type is commonly used in renovation projects, emergency works, or projects with numerous unknown variables. The agreement carefully balances the interests of both the employer and contractor, providing transparency in cost calculation while ensuring quality control. It includes comprehensive provisions for cost verification, markup calculations, and payment procedures, all aligned with Maltese construction laws and regulations. The document addresses specific requirements under Maltese law, including compliance with the Building Regulation Act, planning permissions, and local construction standards. It's designed to provide clarity on cost components, approval processes, and project management procedures while maintaining flexibility for project modifications.
