Contract Administration Services for Building Projects

Contract Administration

If you are building using a main contractor and want the reassurance of an independent construction expert by your side, then our Contract Administration service is for you. Contract Administration provides financial protection for you and your family and will allow you to carry out your building works with confidence.

A Contract Administrator’s role is a contractual one and it is to ensure that the construction works are delivered as per the building contract. CLPM will be there to ensure your build team build as per your designs and specifications, and at the cost and timescale agreed.

Having an independent construction expert like CLPM as your Contract Administrator will bring fresh pair of eyes to your project. Our team will not only protect your interests, we will also add value by highlighting and tackling any design or technical issues or inconsistencies which may have been missed by your architect or build team.

What Will Your Contract Administrator Do?

Your Construction Project Manager will visit your construction site to check the quality and accuracy of your builder’s work. They will keep a close eye on the schedule and chase your builder to ensure everything is completed on time. Together with one of the CLPM Quantity Surveying team they will check and advise on the sign-off of the invoices for payment. When changes happen, they will assess the fairness of any quotes and check your builder’s invoices for payment. Once the main building works are complete, they will also check for snags and defects and chase the builder to complete these before releasing the retained sum.

Along the way, your Construction Project Manager will liaise closely with your contractor and chair regular minuted meetings. He or she will also deal promptly with any queries or questions the build team may have to ensure there are no delays. Should there be a need to make changes, your Quantity Surveyor will work with your Project Manager to make sure that any impact on your costs or programme are fair and reasonable and in accordance to the terms of your building contract.
