Services

Three things we do.

We do not litigate. We do not project manage. We do not quantity survey. We administer the construction contract — on retainer, in templates, or as a one-off adaptation.

01

Live contract administration

We act as the employer's contract administrator on retainer. Compensation events assessed against Clause 60.1. Programmes accepted or rejected against Clause 31. Certificates issued in time. Defects logged. Claims answered.

  • ·Monthly retainer or per-project engagement.
  • ·Employer-side only — we do not represent contractors on live projects.
  • ·All notices issued in the contract's own language and timeframes.
  • ·Hand-off package prepared from day one for closeout and final account.

    Scope

    Monthly retainer with a defined hours envelope, or fixed-fee per-project. Anything beyond the envelope is logged and quoted before it's run.

  3. 03

    Deliverable

    Every notice, certificate and assessment the contract demands — issued on time, in the contract's own language. Closeout pack assembled from day one.

What we don't do

A confident no.

We do not litigate. We do not project manage. We do not quantity survey. We do not switch sides mid-contract. We do not represent contractors on projects we administer for the employer.

If the work calls for one of those, we will say so on the first call and tell you where to look. We would rather start a relationship by being useful than by being available.
