Contract Administration is crucial to ensure that building contracts are executed efficiently, fairly, and in line with the agreed terms. Our service focuses on managing the contractual relationship between the employer and contractor, keeping projects on track and mitigating disputes.

We are experienced in the JCT suite of contracts, including Minor Works and Intermediate Building Contracts. Acting as Contract Administrator, we provide impartial oversight, ensuring all instructions, payments, variations, and timelines are properly managed and documented.

Our approach combines technical construction knowledge with detailed understanding of contract conditions. We chair site meetings, inspect works periodically, authorise interim payments, certify completion dates, and oversee the final account, ensuring the project aligns with contractual obligations.

Where necessary, we also act as Expert Witness in cases involving professional negligence or disputes concerning contract administration. Our role is to safeguard the interests of all parties while maintaining compliance with the contract.
