Contract Administration has a key role in ensuring a project is delivered to the agreed quality and scope, within budget and on programme.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR AND EMPLOYERS AGENT?

The terms Contract Administrator and Employers Agent are one of the main sources of confusion with regard to their role and function within the construction industry. However, they are in essence very similar roles separated by the choice of contract.

The principle difference is that a Contract Administrator encompasses both pre-contract and post contract activities under a traditional JCT contract or similar. Whilst the Employers Agent role is primarily post contract phase once a contractor is appointed under a design and build contract.

Within both roles further services and responsibilities are usually included. For example, a Contract Administrator could also take on the role as Principal Designer, Project Manager and Cost Control services. Whilst an Employers Agent would ordinarily act as Lead Consultant on behalf of the Client and take responsibility for the appointment of the design team, oversee the tender process, change process and risk management.
