Contract administration, is, the management of the contract between the employer, or client, and the building contractor. A contract administrator or employer’s agent is required to manage, negotiate, support and execute the contract process.

- Construction
- Procurement
- Subcontracting
- Installation
- Engineering
- Commissioning
- Handovers
- Rectification
