Service : Construction Contract Administration

The best way to avoid a dispute is to prevent it

A Venerus Advisory Partners Contract Administrator (CA) is the first line of defense in a project’s dispute avoidance system.

Aided by an intimate knowledge of the contract combined with a “bird’s-eye” view of the project context, CA’s can often spot emerging problems. By proactively liaising with project personnel and promptly addressing problems using the appropriate contract mechanisms – our CA’s mitigate the risks and disappointments associated with poor compliance.

Involve us early

By involving Venerus Advisory Partners at the time of contract formation, you can establish a contract that is thoughtfully aligned to your risk appetite, internal practices and processes – thereby increasing your capability to conform to even the toughest of terms.

Understand and preserve your rights

Venerus Advisory Partners understands construction contracts. We can translate dense “legalese” into plain language for project personnel so they know what to do – and what not to do – right from the beginning of the project.

When you are forced to agree to onerous terms and conditions in order to get the business, Venerus Advisory Partners contract administration capabilities are invaluable. We will work diligently to preserve your rights to ensure timely submission of claims for payment or extensions of time, as well keep critical records to support those claims.
