Contract Administration

A large part of our role as a RIBA Chartered architectural practice is in construction contract administration.

Our Contract Administrators (CAs) are essential in ensuring that construction projects progress smoothly and adhere to the legal processes.

Our role

We have extensive experience in managing a variety of contracts; including JCT minor and intermediate forms as well as JCT Design and Build contracts. Acting as the interface between the client, contractor and other stakeholders, we facilitate communication, resolve conflicts, and proactively solve problems to keep projects on track.

Our services

Quality and cost oversight

Monitor the quality and cost of construction, ensuring that standards are met and budgets are adhered to.

Progress monitoring and payment certification

Track project progress and certify payments, ensuring milestones are met and contractors are paid appropriately.

Issue resolution

Address issues and disputes, such as scope changes, delays, or defects, to minimise disruptions.

Compliance and risk mitigation

Ensure the construction process aligns with design intent, project schedules, quality standards and regulatory requirements, mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with legal and contractual obligations.

Handover and completion

We oversee the handover and completion stages, ensuring all contractual obligations are fulfilled, warranties and guarantees are in place, and all necessary documentation is provided, including overseeing and managing the defects liability period. This comprehensive approach ensures successful project delivery and client satisfaction.
