Our Services: As the Works Progress
Contract Administration Services
Deciding on the correct Contract Management
Strategy is essential for any construction contract, but success
will not be secured unless the strategy is implemented progressively
throughout the execution of the contract. Successful implementation
and control relies on an excellent standard of Contract Administration.
At the very least, this should ensure that the appropriate
letters and notices are issued and effective project records
kept, to preserve and prove entitlement. The wider benefits
of the function include firm and successful evaluation and
negotiation of arguments, claims and changes as they arise
and timely and effective project close-out, with requiring
retrospective analysis at the end of the project.
An increasing number of clients are recognising the advantages
of appointing Claims Management Consultants from the commencement
of a project, so that Contract Administration and surveillance
can be supplemented throughout the course of the works.
We strongly advocate this type of service which can provide
immeasurable benefits to a client through being able to reduce
claims and dispute exposure and to allow their project teams
to concentrate on driving the project forward rather than
becoming distracted and consumed with debating and resolving
historical events and disputes.
To obtain these benefits, many of our clients appoint Richard
Burke Partnership to provide Contract Administration
services throughout the life of their project (whether for
the overall project contract, or sub-contract element). We
are predominantly engaged to supplement the clients’
existing project management teams, by placement of our individual
professionals or teams at the project site, at the client’s
home office, or a combination of locations. For a breakdown
