6.2 Contracts
Contracts are one of the most important aspects in the construction indus-
try where the relationships between the three parties are intertwined, as 
shown in Figure 6.1.
From this figure, one can conclude that there are two main contracts 
between the owner and the engineer and also with the contracts. On the 


Tendering, Bidding, and Contract Traps 185
other side, the engineering firm or the contractors also have contracts to 
supply materials or provide services or subcontractors, and all these con-
tracts will affect the project as a whole.
Therefore, the implementation of the project as a whole, in general, is 
linked to those contracts. For example, the services for an engineering firm 
stem from a company that maintains their computers. When there is no 
binding contract to achieve a fast response and quality in service of main-
taining the computers, this will have a negative effect on the overall design 
time, which respectively affects the time of the final project or quality of the 
project. Therefore, any contract from any party has an impact on the whole 
project and a contract with the supplier of materials for the contractor is 
very critical, as any error will have a negative impact directly on the project 
time as a whole.
All contracts are important to the project and the goal of each contract 
should be clear to all.
The most risky contracts are the most important because they have 
the highest financial value in the whole project, which is the construction 
contract between the owner and the construction main contractor. The 
owner must determine the type of contract, how each contract is different 
depending on the nature of the project, and its objective. There are many
