Forms of Contract, Target Cost Contracts, The International Burgundy Book - IChemE

The intention of a target cost contract is to encourage both parties in the contract to work together to find ways of carrying out the work as efficiently as possible and to be rewarded as a result (ie pain/gain share). This brand new Form of Contract sets out a procedure for arriving at a target cost that is sufficiently detailed to be used as the basis for effective control during the contract.IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.
