Contract Administration

Home/Services/Contract Administration

Contract administration in construction is the process of managing the contracts between all parties, involved in a construction project from initiation to completion. It’s a vital part in maintaining compliance, mitigating risk and ensuring effective project execution with completion within scope, time and budget.
