Overview

For anyone involved in construction projects it is essential that accurate records are kept. In order to provide construction professionals with the skills and knowledge required in this field, this course will provide practical insight into up-to-date practices that can be applied to construction contracts. This will include contractual requirements, best practice, modern methods of information management, and guidance on post-contract administration.

Attendees will have to implement what they learn by completing a practical example. The role of a contract administrator in practice will be extensively explored and there will be opportunities to share experiences and answer questions relating to real-world scenarios.

Course content

The course looks in detail at the following key areas:

  • Establishing a client’s brief
  • Contractual parties and their obligations (employer and contractor)
  • Best practice record keeping (drawing registers, site records, site portals)
  • Progress on site (monitoring progress, information flow, requests for information, delays)
  • Certificates issued by contract administrators (practical, non-completion, partial possession)
  • Practical application (administering the variation process from beginning to end)
  • Self and peer assessment with a practical activity
