The Avko contract system allows the contractor less risk and the client reduced costs if either party develops initiatives to reduce the scope of work.
The value of this to a contractor is threefold: firstly, it allows a contractor to use its financial opportunities to their maximum potential.
Secondly, the system allows the contractor to develop methods and ideas to reduce overall costs without reducing the contractors’potential margin.
Thirdly, the system builds a culture of continuous improvement.
The increasing tendency towards continuous improvements means the industry can optimise performance and reduce costs.
