Managing Relationships and Mitigating Risks

Effective Contract Management is crucial, as well-structured contracts often prevent disputes and claims, ensuring smooth project execution. Construction Contracts outline not only the parties’ obligations but also define terms, costs, and timelines for completion. A carefully crafted contract that fairly allocates responsibilities, is consistently administered and monitored, serves as a preventive measure against claims and aids in resolving issues amicably if they arise.

Despite its significance, Contract Management is frequently overlooked until discrepancies surface, potentially leading to disputes and financial setbacks for stakeholders. At MCS, our contract specialists play an essential role in managing and executing contracts.

Contract Management at MCS:

  • Reviewing and continuously monitoring contracts to ensure flawless execution within the project’s scope, while tracking deviations
  • Assessing site conditions to detect any variations and documenting them
  • Identifying and recording scope changes, quantity adjustments, engineering drawings, or approvals that may cause delays, resulting in construction claims
  • Monitoring any neglect, delay, or suspension of work by the owner, which may lead to claims
  • Ensuring the client’s full compliance to prevent unnecessary delays
  • Tracking any delays or losses resulting from Force Majeure events
  • Conducting regular audits and ensuring on-time contract compliance
  • Identifying contractual risks and implementing strategies to minimize them
  • Documenting evidence and reviewing all claim-related communication to strengthen your claims
  • Reviewing records and documentation to challenge counterclaims or penalties imposed by the employer/owner
  • Storing critical documents in a secure and searchable digital contract repository at MCS for easy access.

At MCS, we recognize that Contract Management is centered around minimizing risks and fostering strong relationships. This involves meticulous documentation, consistent communication with all parties, thorough research and analysis for risk assessment, and the expertise of qualified professionals to oversee future needs. We balance costs, prevent delays, and ensure the financial stability of contracts for all parties involved. By managing daily contractual obligations, we keep a watchful eye on potential claims.
