Contract Administration

Building a new home is a significant investment, financially and emotionally. At Morriarchi Architecture, our Contract Administration service ensures your project runs smoothly, on budget, and to the highest standards.

About The Service

Our architects liaise with all relevant parties throughout the building process to ensure all elements of your contract and specifications are complied with.

Your construction process includes pre-agreed work, costs and deliverables to help shape your dream space, but how do you ensure your construction team keeps their end of the bargain? 

At Morriarchi Architecture, our work isn’t done once you’ve signed off on plans and selected a builder for your project. We act as your representative and advocate throughout the construction process to ensure your new home is built according to the agreed-upon plans, specifications, budget and timeline.

Through managing the full contract administration process, we remove the stress and uncertainty that comes from knowing if your build team is meeting your high standards. We ensure you don’t overpay for the value of work and materials and undertake regular site inspections.

We provide expert guidance, help avoid costly mistakes, and ensure the final result aligns with your vision.

Choosing a builder is a complex process of negotiation, comparison and evaluation of tenders. Once your contractor is confirmed, we can support your project as contract administrators with our extensive product knowledge, construction standards and technical expertise helping bring your vision to life.  

We understand that issues can occur in every build. Having an architect there from project inception to completion means you have an expert on hand to find the most effective solution, resulting in time and cost savings.

Our expertise doesn’t start and end with design. Our construction contract administration service ensures your construction team is adhering to the contract regarding design quality control, material selections and performance. The result? You save time, money and headaches.
