Control, Clarity & Compliance Built In
Construction contracts are where cost, risk, and timelines collide. Without expert contract administration, even the most well-drafted construction contract can fall apart during execution.
That’s where Canning CC steps in.
As construction contract administrators, we make sure your contracts are not just signed—but enforced, tracked, and managed with precision. From issuing notices to managing variations, assessing progress claims to handling disputes, we act as the independent gatekeeper between all stakeholders.
The result? Fewer issues. More delivery. Greater compliance.
Contracts executed properly. Construction projects delivered smoothly. That’s how we operate.
What Is a Construction Contract Administrator?
A Construction Contract Administrator (CA) is the professional who ensures the terms of your construction contract are followed throughout the construction process—from pre-build to handover.
Their key responsibilities include:
Acting as the impartial liaison between client and contractor
Managing all contract documents and project administration
Certifying progress claims and evaluating variations
Enforcing contractual obligations, timelines, and scope
Supporting early dispute resolution through documentation and process
An experienced CA keeps your construction work legally defensible, financially accountable, and on track.
