Unit price contract

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A unit price contract is a contract for an exchange of services in which the fee is determined on the basis of a unit price or several unit prices and the actual scope of the service in kind determined after the service has been provided.

The term is mainly used in connection with construction contracts , although the underlying principle is also widely used in other areas.

The model of the unit price contract is particularly in contrast to the flat rate contract .

The decisive factor is which masses are actually required and installed. If, for example, 100 m² carpeting at 50 euros is offered in the offer and it is actually 105 m², the client has to pay the actual amount of 105 m² at 50 euros, i.e. a total amount of 5,250 euros (not just the amount offered in Amount of 5,000 euros).
