Frequently Asked Questions
Contract Administration

Clear answers for builders, developers and owner-builders managing NSW construction projects.

What is building contract administration?

Building contract administration is the practical management of the contractual processes, records and decisions that support a construction project. It can include tender documentation, notices, claims, variations, extensions of time, payment records, RFIs, meeting actions and completion documentation.

Who can use Awesim’s contract administration services?

Awesim assists builders, developers and owner-builders. Engagements are tailored to the agreed scope and may cover one issue, a defined project stage or ongoing support throughout a project.

When should I engage a contract administrator?

It is best to establish contract controls before work begins, particularly during tendering and procurement. However, Awesim can also assist projects already underway where claims, variations, delays or records need to be brought under control.

Can you assist with variations, progress claims and extensions of time?

Yes. Awesim can help establish and maintain registers, review the supporting project records and improve how claims, variations, extensions of time and related decisions are documented. The exact role is set out in the agreed engagement and does not replace legal advice.

Which building contracts can you work with?

Awesim has experience with common residential and commercial contract forms, including HIA, MBA, AS 2124 and AS 4000-series contracts. The service is matched to the particular contract, project documentation and agreed responsibilities.

What is the difference between contract administration and project management?

Project management coordinates the overall delivery of the project, including programme, people and reporting. Contract administration focuses on the contract processes and records that support commercial decisions, including notices, claims, variations, payment administration and close-out documentation.

Can you help if a project is already experiencing problems?

Yes. Awesim can review the available project records, identify outstanding contractual issues and assist with practical registers, communication and reporting so decisions and obligations are easier to track.

Do you provide contract administration services across NSW?

Yes. Awesim provides building contract administration support across New South Wales. Fees depend on the project scope, documentation and level of ongoing involvement, and are set out in a clear fee proposal before work begins.
