- A lump sum (fixed price) contract is an agreement where the contractor agrees to complete the defined scope of work for a fixed total price. The contractor bears the risk of cost overruns, while the owner bears less cost risk but may pay a premium for this certainty. This contract type works best when the scope is well-defined and design is complete. Changes are handled through change orders which modify the fixed price.
