Existe-t-il des limitations au système lorsque les projets comportent plusieurs contrats principaux ?

When to create a single contract

Most general contractors managing Procore projects create a single contract for a single project. This is the simplest way to manage projects that have an upstream approval requirement—such as approval from a single project owner or a single funding source. A single contract allows your team to manage your contract with the project owner as well as your upstream invoicing.

When to create multiple contracts

If your project has multiple delivery methods, owners, clients, or funding sources, you may want to create multiple contracts. This allows you to manage multiple contracts and your upstream invoicing with multiple delivery methods, entities, phases, stages, and more. Reasons to create multiple contracts include:

• Multiple Clients and Funding Sources
  A project can have multiple clients or funding sources. For example, a specialty contractor might choose to create a separate contract for each client. Or your construction company might have been contracted to complete work on a project with more than one funding stream, such as a private donor, a public grant, a public authority, bonds, grants, loans, or a combination of all these examples. See Configure Settings: Prime Contracts.

• Multiple Stages
  A project can have multiple contracts for different project stages. For example, you might want to create multiple contracts for pre-construction, course of construction, and aftercare/maintenance.

• Multiple Phases
  A project can have multiple contracts for different work phases. For example, you might want to create multiple contracts to manage the project's foundation, plumbing, HVAC, and so on.

• Multiple Delivery Methods
  Depending on your delivery method, these are some reasons you might want to create multiple contracts.

  • Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Contracts. A project can be fast-tracked or a phased GMP job. You might want to create multiple separate contracts for each established scope-of-work package.

  • Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) Delivery Methods. If your company is operating as a CMa, you might want to create separate contracts between the owner and the various contractors hired by the owner.

Before creating multiple contracts, be aware of the limitations detailed below.
