Streamlining Success with Contract Admin

Contract Admin refers to the task of ensuring that a construction contract (between client and contractor) is executed in accordance with the terms and conditions. The contract administrator may be a representative of either party or may be a third party, depending on the terms.

During contract administration, the architect observes conformity to the building contract documents as well as the quality of the outcome. This may include: periodic site visits, responding to Requests for Information (RFI)s, issuing Architects Instructions, assessing progress claims, contract price adjustments and assessing claims for adjustments of time. You can refer to the Institute’s 2019 Client Architect Agreement (CAA2019) for more detail.

Embarking on a construction project is an exciting endeavor, but it comes with its own set of challenges. From managing budgets and timelines to overseeing the intricacies of the building process, the complexities can be overwhelming. This is where our Contract Administration services step in. We recognise that successful project execution extends far beyond the design phase. Our comprehensive Contract Admin Services ensure that your vision not only takes shape but flourishes seamlessly from concept to completion.
