Force account work, also known as work-by-force account, is a payment method for contracted construction work without an existing agreement on cost. In this case, the works are undertaken with the understanding that the client will pay the contractor according to the cost of labour, materials, and equipment, with an additional percentage of overheads and a mark-up for profit.

It can be used when the contractor and client are unable to agree on a unit price or lump sum amount, or if it is the case that both of those methods are impracticable.

A provision for work-by-force account can be included in the contract when the quantities and scope of work are unknown at the time of bid letting, as well as for extra work identified after work on the project has already begun.

Some of the advantages of the force account work method are as follows:

* It can permit the fast track start of construction work in critical schedule areas.
* Saves staff time and overhead costs that are required for contract package preparation and the bidding, evaluation and award of contracts.
* Reduces costs and enhances the flow of design concepts and drawings.
