Effective administration of JCT Design & Build Contracts
For any design and build project, an Employer’s Agent plays a crucial role in how the contract is effectively delivered: that timelines are adhered to, quality standards upheld and the budget managed.
The Ivor Russell Partnership team brings years of experience, strong contract management skills, planning expertise and a great track record of successful project delivery.
We work hard to deliver for our clients but understand that it’s people that deliver projects.
By fostering strong relationships and a collaborative team ethos, we create an environment where all stakeholders work together effectively – guiding your project to success with fairness and professionalism.
An Employer’s Agent represents their client in administering a construction contract – generally under a particular type of contract: the JCT Design and Build contract.
The Employer’s Agent manages the project lifecycle, ensuring it is delivered on time, within budget and to the required quality standards – reducing their client’s administrative burden, safeguarding their investment and making sure the project meets its goals.
Acting as the client’s representative, an Employer’s Agent handles tasks such as issuing instructions, negotiating with the contractors, overseeing progress and managing payments.
Their expertise helps to streamline communication between stakeholders, manage risks, ensure the quality of deliverables, to arrive at a successful outcome. They also bring a knowledge of construction processes and legal frameworks which supports their clients in navigating the complexities of contracts.
