Additional project capacity

Need another Contract Administrator without making a permanent appointment?

Project workloads do not always align neatly with permanent resourcing. A new project, staff vacancy, difficult commercial phase or backlog of unresolved issues can create an immediate need for additional Contract Administrator capacity.

LMA can work alongside existing project and commercial teams to provide outsourced contract administration, address a defined backlog or add regular project support for agreed days each week or month.

The focus remains on disciplined administration that protects entitlement, improves commercial control and creates a reliable project record.

How LMA can assist

Contract Administrator capability across the project lifecycle.

Contractual noticesPrepare and review notices required for variations, delay, access, information, directions, claims and other contractual events.

Formal correspondenceDevelop clear project correspondence that records the facts, preserves the contractual position and supports later assessment or negotiation.

Payment administrationSupport payment claims, payment schedules, supporting records, assessments and payment-related correspondence.

Variation administrationMaintain variation processes from identification and notification through pricing, assessment, approval and commercial close-out.

EOT administrationManage time-related notices, records, claims, responses and outstanding EOT positions during delivery.

Subcontract administrationSupport subcontract formation, correspondence, variations, claims, payment, security and final accounts.

Security & retentionMonitor contractual security and retention requirements, recourse, reductions and release milestones.

Close-out & final accountAssist with outstanding claims, final account reconciliation, security release, retention and contractual close-out requirements.

When to engage LMA

Additional Contract Administrator resources can prevent commercial issues from accumulating.

the business is searching for a Contract Administrator for a new or existing construction project;
a Contract Administrator vacancy or leave period has created an immediate resourcing gap;
the project team is stretched and notices or commercial correspondence are falling behind;
variation and EOT registers contain significant unresolved items;
the project requires more disciplined payment, subcontract or claim administration;
project records do not clearly support the current commercial position;
a project is approaching practical completion or final account with unresolved issues; or
the business needs outsourced or part-time Contract Administrator support without increasing permanent headcount.

LMA approach

Good contract administration should support delivery—not create paperwork for its own sake.

The objective is to make the contract work within the project environment.

LMA focuses administration on the requirements that materially affect entitlement, payment, time, risk and commercial outcomes. Correspondence is kept clear and purposeful, registers are used to drive action and the project record is developed so management can understand what remains unresolved.

Support can be targeted to a particular issue or provided as flexible Contract Administrator capacity alongside the project team.
