There are a number of proprietary model forms of contract available, such as those published by IChemE, MF1 and ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) the advantage of these contracts is that they allow for the normal key events within a contract, such as: Construction Completion, Take Over and Performance Tests.
These agreements are becoming more common in contracting, as they allow all interested parties (typically the client, contractor and consulting engineer) to work together to complete the contract within the predicted or 'target' cost. Savings on projects are shared according to who is also accepting the greater risk.
"Partnering" or "Open Book Accounting" help to avoid what might be termed an 'adversarial' approach to contracting. There are model forms of contract agreements geared towards this type of approach (such as the IChemE Green Book) which guide all parties through each stage as necessary.
