Building Contract Administration
Building construction is a complex process and skilful management can be the key to success in meeting the requirements of the client and controlling expenditure and time. Employing a contract administrator removes the client from the day-to-day management of the building project and reduces risk and the potential for conflict. Lawrence-Vacher has successfully overseen construction projects of behalf of local authorities, commercial and residential clients for over forty years enabling us to bring a wealth of experience to this role.
As contract administrator we advise on procurement, tender the project, assist the client in the appointment of the contractor and prepare the contract documents. We arrange commencement of the work and carry out regular site visits to monitor the progress, quality and compliance with the specification, deal with variations and certify payments to the contractor. At completion we scrutinise documents and agree the final account with the contractor. Following completion we administer the rectification (defects liability) provisions of the contract.
Throughout the process we work closely with the client and prepare regular reports on progress and expenditure.
