Managing a construction contract is just as important as managing the build itself. Our Contract Administration service ensures that every aspect of your project runs smoothly, fairly, and in line with the agreed terms.

We act as an independent administrator between the client and contractor, overseeing progress, monitoring compliance, and managing documentation throughout the life of the project.

With professional contract administration, you gain clarity, fairness, and protection—helping to minimise risks, avoid disputes, and deliver your project on time and within budget.

When building with bank finance, lenders often require independent reporting before funds are released. Our Bank Funding & Drawdown Reports give both you and your bank the confidence that your project is progressing as planned.

What we provide:

• Initial reports confirming project feasibility, budget alignment, and contract value.

• Progress valuations at key stages to certify how much of the project is complete.

• Drawdown recommendations to the bank, ensuring funds are released in line with actual progress.

• Ongoing monitoring to highlight any risks, delays, or cost overruns before they become issues.

By acting as the independent link between client, contractor, and lender, we help keep your project financially on track, protect your investment, and give your bank the assurance they need.

Successful projects don’t just happen—they’re carefully planned, coordinated, and monitored. Our Project Management Support services give you the expertise and structure needed to keep your project moving smoothly from concept to completion.

• Developing project budgets, programmes, and procurement strategies

• Coordinating consultants, contractors, and stakeholders

• Tracking progress against time, cost, and quality objectives

• Managing risks, variations, and contract obligations

• Providing clear reporting so you stay informed at every stage

Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a first build, a developer managing multiple projects, or a contractor needing additional oversight, we provide tailored support to keep your project on time, on budget, and stress-free.
