Important Comparisons in Unit Price Payment Contracts

This Skill Bit highlights the flexibility of unit price contracts, where payments are based on unit rates and completed quantities of work.

Unit price contracts allow for adjustments based on actual work completed, making them ideal for projects with uncertain scope, while requiring detailed tracking and management.
