The Hidden Problem Costing
Construction Companies Time and Money
67% of Australian construction disputes stem from poorly understood contract terms. The cause? Choosing contract types without fully understanding the risk allocation, payment structures, and obligations involved.
Every contractor knows the sinking feeling: you signed a contract thinking the terms were clear, only to discover hidden risks when disputes arise. By the time payment issues or scope disagreements emerge, it's too late to renegotiate the fundamentals.
These contract misunderstandings aren't just frustrating, they're expensive. They're the difference between protected, profitable projects and costly legal battles.
What if you understood exactly which contract type suits each project scenario?
What if you could identify risk allocation and payment terms before signing, not after disputes arise?
Without understanding contract types, contractors face:
Unexpected financial exposure from signing contracts with unfavourable risk allocation and payment terms
Payment disputesarising from unclear contract terms and misunderstood obligations
Scope creep and variationsdraining profitability when contract types don't clearly define responsibilities and change management processes
Legal vulnerability due to poorly understood contract clauses and risk allocation when claims arise
Project losses from choosing the wrong contract type for your project circumstances and risk profile
Ready to Master Contract Management?
See how Varicon's contract management tools help you track obligations, variations, and payment terms across all contract types.
Construction contract selection shouldn't be a gamble. It should be a strategic decision based on project scope, risk tolerance, and payment preferences, with clear understanding of what each contract type means for your business.
Varicon is construction management software that helps you manage any contract type effectively. Whether you're working under lump sum, cost-plus, unit rate, or construction management contracts, Varicon tracks variations, monitors obligations, and ensures compliance with contract terms. Your teams log variations and contract changes on mobile-friendly tools designed for actual construction conditions. Those entries appear instantly on your dashboard, giving you complete visibility of contract performance in real time.
When contract terms are unclear or key clauses are overlooked, you get alerts. Not weeks later during a dispute. Right now, while you can still address the issues. That's the difference between managing contracts proactively and scrambling to interpret them reactively.
Here's what changes when you understand and implement the right contract types:
Your contract administration becomes systematic.
The contract management tools work in the real world: complex projects, multiple stakeholders, evolving scope changes. It's designed for how construction actually works, not how software companies think it should work. Perfect for remote teams who need to manage contract obligations from anywhere.
Contract administration time plummets.
No more hunting through contract documents for specific clauses. No more chasing approvals for variations. No more manual tracking of contract milestones. Your team focuses on delivery, not paperwork.
Your contract compliance improves.
Companies using Varicon report better contract compliance and fewer payment disputes. That's not magic. It's systematic contract administration. When you track obligations and variations properly, you protect your position regardless of contract type.
Contract visibility gets clearer.
What's the status of approved variations? Are we meeting contract milestones? What payment claims are outstanding? You don't need to dig through files for answers. The contract dashboard shows everything instantly.
You spot contract risks while they're still manageable.
Real-time contract monitoring means you catch emerging issues immediately. Varicon's contract management software shows you exactly how each contract is performing. A minor variation noted today is manageable. A pattern of scope changes that you discover at payment time is a crisis.
The best contract management software doesn't just store documents. It changes behaviour. When your teams understand contract obligations are tracked, they pay closer attention to compliance. When you have real-time contract visibility, you make better decisions. Better contract administration means better project outcomes, regardless of which contract type you're working under.

Built for Australian Civil Contractors
Who Refuse to Gamble on Contract Terms
Varicon is purpose-built for civil construction companies working under various contract types on earthworks, roadworks, subdivisions, and infrastructure projects across Australia.
You're a perfect fit if you're a project manager juggling multiple contracts with different terms. If you're a contracts administrator who needs to track obligations across lump sum, cost-plus, and unit rate contracts. If you're a director concerned about contract compliance and variation management. If you're running multiple projects simultaneously under different contract types and losing track of obligations.
Small to mid-sized civil contractors get the most value. You're big enough that manual contract administration creates chaos, but not so massive that you need enterprise contract management systems. You want sophisticated contract tracking without the enterprise price tag or six-month implementation timeline.
This isn't for residential builders (different contract structures, different needs). It's not for massive infrastructure contractors who need custom enterprise contract solutions. And if you're outside Australia, you'll find platforms better suited to your local contract frameworks.
But if you're an Australian civil contractor who wants to manage contract obligations effectively, track variations systematically, and finally maintain control regardless of contract type, Varicon was built for you.
'Varicon is a business with very passionate people. They are always working hard, chasing me, chasing my team. They consistently work on their roadmap and update the software. We want something to really help us build our business. I see the potential. We’ll grow and I want us to grow together.'
Ji Zhang, CBEM
'Varicon has simplified our workflows, reduced errors, and given us tools to manage projects more efficiently. We’re saving time, improving compliance, and are able to track our projects from the office in real-time.'

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of contracts in construction management and which one is right for my project?
Contract management software helps you understand, negotiate, and manage different types of construction contracts in real time, so you know exactly what obligations, risks, and opportunities exist across every agreement, not weeks later.
You need it because construction contracts are complex. A single misunderstood clause or missed variation approval can eliminate your profit. Without clear visibility into contract types and their specific requirements, you discover problems too late. Contract management acts as a control system, ensuring each contract type, whether lump sum, cost-plus, or design-build, is administered correctly whilst you can still protect your position. Companies report up to 15% margin improvements simply from having visibility and control.
What makes Varicon different from other contract management solutions?
Varicon was built specifically for Australian civil contractors by people who understand the industry. It's designed to handle all major contract types in construction management: lump sum, cost-plus, unit price, design-build, and construction management contracts. The key difference is clarity. Most construction software fails because it treats all contracts the same. Varicon adapts to each contract type's unique requirements, dusty sites, workers in gloves, patchy connectivity. Whether you're managing fixed-price earthworks or time-and-materials infrastructure projects, the system tracks costs, variations, and claims according to each contract's specific terms. It works offline and syncs automatically. No extensive training needed. Plus, you get Australian-based support who understand local construction practices.

Most businesses are live within two to three weeks. Varicon includes full setup, onboarding, and training. User adoption is where Varicon excels. The mobile app works offline, has large buttons for gloved hands, and needs minimal training. Most teams manage contract variations and claims on day one because it's intuitive. Companies report 90%+ adoption rates because it fits real construction workflows instead of forcing complex processes.
Companies using Varicon report saving over $45,000 annually in admin costs, with 12-18% project cost reductions and up to 15% margin improvements.
You'll manage contract variations efficiently, make data-driven decisions about claims, and maintain clear audit trails for each contract type. Time savings are significant: document retrieval drops from 27 minutes to seconds, processing time reduces by 85-95%, and month-end reconciliation becomes painless. Most companies recoup their investment within the first few projects.
