Contract Administration
Once construction begins, maintaining clarity between the design, building contract and work on site becomes essential.
We act as Contract Administrator under the selected JCT contract, providing impartial administration of the building contract as construction progresses.
The service helps maintain clarity between the client, contractor, contract and design information, with formal instructions and contractual matters managed in accordance with the agreed JCT contract.
- JCT Contract Administration — administer the selected building contract.
- Contract Instructions — issue formal instructions where required.
- Progress Oversight — review works against the contract information.
- Contractual Coordination—manage key communications and processes during construction.
- Structured Oversight — a clear process throughout construction.
- Impartial Administration — duties carried out in accordance with the JCT contract.
- Clear Communication — keep client, contractor and design information aligned.
- Design Continuity — help carry the agreed design through construction.
Tailored to Your Project
Fees reflect the contract, project complexity and level of construction-stage involvement required.
HOW IT WORKS
A RIBA-Led Design Journey
Our design process follows the RIBA Plan of Work — the industry‑recognised framework developed by the Royal Institute of British Architects. It guides projects from the first idea and brief through design, technical development, construction and handover.
1
Strategic Definition · Preparation & Briefing
We explore the property, your ambitions and the project requirements — establishing a clear, informed brief before design begins.
2
Concept Design · Spatial Coordination
Ideas become architecture. We develop the concept, layouts and spatial strategy, progressing the design towards planning or lawful development submissions where required.
3
Technical Design
The design evolves into coordinated technical information — Building Regulations, construction details, specifications and consultant input — ready for tendering and construction.
4
Manufacturing & Construction · Handover
We can continue supporting the project through construction, helping coordinate design and contract information through to Practical Completion and handover.
5
Use
The project moves from drawing board to everyday life — where the success of the design is ultimately experienced.
