Contract Administration

Acting as Contract Administrators means that we manage our client’s contract with the builder on their behalf. This involves: Preparing the contract documents. Tendering for quotes from contractors. Negotiating the builders contract. Inspecting site works in relation to the contract. Managing and issuing variations to the contract as they arise (this reflects any design changes the client may wish to make after the works have started or if an unforeseen site condition arises). Doing monthly valuations of the works so that the client only ever pays for work that has been successfully completed. Organising a retention of monies withheld from the builders fees throughout the build contract and for a specified period after the project ends so that the client has the reassurance of money set aside to cover any unforeseen issues. Issuing defects lists at the conclusion of the project to ensure that every item has been successfully completed. Also, know as ‘snagging lists’. Issuing interim, practical completion and final certificates of completion of the project.
