Each variant has its merits and demerits, necessitating a judicious choice aligned with your business requisites. These contracts should encompass essential elements like project details, contract information, customer details, terms and conditions, scope of works, special conditions, insurances, and contract price to ensure clarity, legality, and comprehensiveness.
