Iowa Admin. Code r. 701—219.8(423) — Types of construction contracts

219.8(1) Types of construction contracts. Construction contracts include lump-sum contracts; cost plus contracts; time and material contracts; unit price contracts; guaranteed maximum or upset price contracts; construction management contracts; design-built contracts; and turnkey contracts. 219.8(2) Scope. A contract for the installation of one or more of the items listed below does not necessarily transform that contract into a construction contract or a contract for reconstruction, alteration, expansion, or remodeling. Thus, for example, hiring a contractor to install a light fixture in an existing building is not, without more, a construction contract or a contract for reconstruction, alteration, expansion, or remodeling. 219.8(3) Examples. The following is a nonexhaustive list of activities and items that could fall within the scope of a construction contract or a contract for reconstruction, alteration, expansion, or remodeling of a structure. This list should not be used to distinguish machinery and equipment from real property or structures since such a determination is factual.
