What is a Unit Price Contract? This is the Complete Understanding of the Unit Price Contract in the Project

Unit Price Contract is a contract for the procurement of goods or construction work with a fixed unit price for each unit or work element with certain technical specifications for the completion of all work within a predetermined time limit with several provisions, namely:

  1. The volume or quantity of work is still an estimate at the time the Contract is signed
  2. Payment based on the results of joint measurement of the realization of the volume of work
  3. And the final contract value is determined after all the work is completed.


Unit Price Contracts are used if the scope, quantity, or volume cannot be determined precisely due to the characteristics, difficulties, and risks of the work. Unit Price Contracts can also be used for building or infrastructure construction activities.


The payment method for the work results for unit price contracts is based on the measurement of the results of joint work on the realization of the volume of work at a fixed unit price according to the estimated volume in the list of quantities and prices and provisions in the Contract. In the concept of unit price, it must be based on the subject to change, or changes to the contract can be made.

There may be an increase or a decrease, but the total cost according to the initial estimate or CCO (Contract Change Order) or additional work or addendum on the condition that it must not increase the contract price exceeding 10% or the budget availability limit.


This unit price contract is more appropriate for work that is complex in nature and the volume is difficult to calculate in terms of quality, quantity, time, location, and cost.
