Construction Contract Administration is one of the most valuable services a design professional can provide to their client and it is extremely beneficial for the contractor as well. But it is often viewed by project owners and contractors as unnecessary and by many design professionals as high-risk, even though they often have the "tools" to manage that risk. This presentation addresses the typical duties of the design professional and the source of risk while administering contracts for construction. The presentation will include discussions on the risk associated with crucial construction contract administration services such as RFIs, submittal reviews, certifications, and change orders. The presentation also includes statistical data regarding the sources of claims arising out of construction contract administration services, claim studies and cites language from AIA contract documents that can help manage the risks.

Presented by the AIABaltimore Continuing Education Committee.
