A Contract Administrator is responsible for administering the terms of building contracts between the parties involved. Some of the key responsibilities are;
An invitation to tender provides prospective suppliers and contractors with tender documents setting out the information they need to prepare their tender bid. It is vital that tender documents are comprehensive and clear if realistic prices are to be obtained, making it more likely that the project will adhere to the budget once the works begin. In addition reducing the likelihood of misunderstanding, mistakes and claims.
DMP industry specialists take great care to ensure these important tender documents are consistent so as to avoid any opportunity for misinterpretation or ambiguity.
DMP has experience in all construction contracts and bespoke contracts and has advised clients on projects worth tens of thousand of pounds to multi-millions.
Our experience and expert knowledge in all aspects of contract review, preparation and negotiation assists clients in managing the unique needs of each project.
Getting the contract right at the outset of a project will help to maximise profit, reduce risk and protect our clients interest.
We work closely and form the link between the professional team and our clients.
Clear and watertight contracts are essential for the progression of any construction project. We determine what the desire outcomes are and produce practical and commercial documents, clearly allocating responsibilities, identifying risks and opportunities.
