What is Contract Administration?

Contract administration, sometimes called project management, makes sure that construction projects run smoothly, mistakes are avoided, and the works are completed on time and within budget.

Why Contract Administration is important

Large projects – such as new builds, extensions, large property refurbishments, etc – can be complicated and daunting. When we act as Contract Administrators, we become the intermediary between you (our Client) and the contractor, which makes your life a whole lot easier during what can be a very stressful time. We manage the build, answer the contractor’s queries, attend site to monitor progress and undertake regular valuations to make sure the project stays on track and there are no nasty surprises.

Contract administration can take (some of!) the stress out of your project.
