contract administrator in construction @ Dhingra Pharma

Job Description

A contract administrator is a professional appointed, typically by the employer, to provide contract administration services on the terms of the construction contract. Despite being appointed by the employer, contract administrators must exercise independent and impartial judgement when carrying out their duties. A contract administrator must have the knowledge, skill and expertise to ensure that the parties' obligations are fulfilled in accordance with the terms of the construction contract.

The architect, lead consultant or quantity surveyor is commonly appointed as the contract administrator. In theory, a director or employee of either the employer or contractor may serve as the contract administrator. This may be cost-effective as it avoids the need to hire a professional. However, parties must consider the possibility of bias, or even the perception of bias, which may lead to potential disputes between the parties.

While most roles and responsibilities of a contract administrator are quite standard, some duties will vary depending on the agreed terms of the contract and the type of project undertaken between the parties.
