Introduction

What is a Contract? In the context of our platform, which is tailored for the construction industry, a contract encompasses various domains related to project management, such as progress updates, billing, micromanagement, and more. Contracts are organized in a hierarchical structure, allowing them to have parent, child, and sub-child relationships, with a maximum of four child contracts per parent. It can be created in spaces only and have nesting levels. Users can choose to structure contracts based on a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or opt for a non-WBS format.

Types of Contracts:

1. WBS-Based Contracts: This type allows detailed breakdowns, where each WBS item can have its own budget, linked estimates, and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) items. These items collectively contribute to the overall budget of the contract.
2. Non-WBS Contracts: These contracts do not follow the WBS structure but still allow for the assignment of quantities, budgets, and BOQ items in a simpler format.

Terminologies

Key Concepts:

• Linked Estimates: Reflect the budget allocated to each WBS item.
• BOQ Items: Bill of Quantities tracks the materials, labor, and parts used in construction.
• Cost Database: Manages the project's financials, containing all related costs and expenses.
• Contract Types: The parent contract is always of "Prime" type and cannot be assigned to any organization. Child contracts can be assigned as Internal, Work Order, or Purchase Order types.
• Estimation: For a project, round estimate or cost for the particular project.
