Contract Administration Legal Services in Sydney
More often than not, we are finding that clients are unfamiliar with the terms of their contract. Unfamiliarity with your contract usually results in significant and costly legal disputes. This is quite common amongst subcontractors who, unlike head contractors and developers, may not have the budget to hire a contracts administrator or project manager to ensure compliance.
​​
Failure to understand the terms of the contract can be the difference between a profitable project or a huge loss to your business. All too often we see subcontractors trying to secure an extension of time or variation to their works only to be rejected because such a request has not been made pursuant to the contract. Failure to secure the variation and extension of time can be disastrous to the subcontractor who, often times, is stuck with wearing that additional cost to meet the project completion date.
​
We have a wealth of experience in drafting and reviewing construction contracts which we can draw upon to assist you with administering your contracts. We understand that subcontractors are usually underresourced and cannot afford the luxury of a dedicated contract administrator.
