Contract Administration is a critical component of infrastructure projects, involving the oversight and management of contractual obligations, performance monitoring, and dispute resolution. Our Contract Administration services provide clients with the expertise and support needed to effectively administer contracts, minimize project delays, control costs, and maintain strong working relationships with stakeholders.
With innovative software platforms such as Builterra, our team can utilize its daily inspection reporting capabilities to facilitate the generation of detailed reports, highlighting project progress, variances and tender quantities to monitor project milestones and ensure that project deliverables align with the defined scope. Our team also provides project and construction financial reporting and management services, including cash flow forecasting, allowing our clients to effectively monitor financial resources throughout the project lifecycle.
