Contracts

Contracts are used to manage the Construction Contract Value of a Project. Onware has 5 different types of Contracts to choose from: Contract, Contingency, Allowance, Variance and Subcontract. The dollar value of the Contract is used for calculating values such as Revised Contract Value and Progress Claim details.

Note: Only Administrators have access to the Contract page.

 

Contract Type	Description of Contract
Contract	The Contract is between an Owner and Prime Consultant/Contract Administrator Group. When selected, Revised Contract Value is calculated as the sum of Contract Value and Change Order Value.
Contingency	The Contract is between an Owner and Prime Consultant/Contract Administrator Group. When selected, Revised Contract Value is calculated as the difference between Contract Value and Change Order Value.
Allowance	The Contract is between an Owner and Prime Consultant/Contract Administrator Group. When selected, Revised Contract Value is calculated as the difference between Contract Value and Change Order Value.
Variance	The Contract is between an Owner and Prime Consultant/Contract Administrator Group. When selected, Revised Contract Value is calculated as the difference between Contract Value and Change Order Value.
