Contract administration

Management of the notices, records, reviews, and decisions needed to administer a construction agreement.

Why it matters

Authority differs among the owner, architect, contractor, and consultants. A party documenting an issue may not have authority to approve a change or direct the work.

In practice

A project example

A consultant identifies unsupported billing and sends the issue to the party responsible for payment review.
