Contract Administration

Diligent, commercially focused contract administration from inception to final completion, with the record keeping to match.

What this covers

  • Preparing and issuing contract documentation
  • Managing change control procedures
  • Assessing and certifying interim valuations
  • Reviewing contractor submissions
  • Administering extensions of time
  • Monitoring compliance with programme and quality requirements
  • CDM advisory and Principal Designer duties where required

Most disputes start as small administrative failures: a certificate issued late, an instruction given verbally, a delay nobody recorded.

A structured approach

We administer the contract as written. Documentation is prepared and issued properly, valuations are assessed and certified on time, contractor submissions are reviewed against what was agreed, and every instruction and notice is recorded.

Protecting your position

Robust record keeping is not bureaucracy, it is what protects you when the programme slips or the account is contested. We keep the paper trail current so entitlement, whichever way it runs, is a matter of fact rather than argument.

Health and safety built in

Where it suits the commission, we take on CDM advisory work and the Principal Designer role, planning and coordinating health and safety through the pre-construction phase and maintaining the health and safety file.

Questions

Common questions

What does a contract administrator actually do?

We act as the central point between employer, contractor and consultants, making sure the obligations in the contract are properly administered: certificates issued on time, change controlled, and records kept.

Can you take on Principal Designer duties too?

Yes. CDM advisory services can be incorporated into the commission, including acting as Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
