| چکیده مقاله |
| In the realm of civil engineering, the selection of contract type is of paramount importance for the effective execution and administration of projects, reflecting the distinctive requirements inherent to each initiative. A diverse array of contract types is utilized, including Lump Sum, Cost Plus, and Design-Build contracts, each fulfilling specific functions contingent upon factors such as project magnitude, intricacy, and associated risks. The importance of comprehending these contract types is underscored by their influence on budgeting, risk distribution, and overall project efficacy, which can significantly affect both financial results and the dynamics of stakeholder relationships. For example, Lump Sum Contracts delineate a predetermined price for precisely defined project scopes, whereas Cost Plus Contracts facilitate the reimbursement of actual expenditures in addition to fees, rendering them suitable for endeavors characterized by ambiguous scopes. In a similar vein, Unit Price Contracts permit payment based on the quantities of work completed, thereby affording adaptability in addressing variable project demands. Conversely, Time and Materials Contracts, while accommodating modifications, may result in unforeseen costs if not subject to rigorous oversight. Fresh contract frameworks, including Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contracts, prioritize teamwork and efficient oversight of projects, respectively. These progressive methodologies aspire to improve project outcomes by promoting synergy among stakeholders and centralizing responsibilities within a singular contractor. |
