The Role of Construction Administration
Construction administration provides continuity between the design engineer’s plans and the construction contractor’s work, ensuring that the client’s vision and end goal are achieved. The construction administrator ensures that design specifications and contract requirements are met while keeping the project on track.
How WithersRavenel Supports Construction Administration Success
At WithersRavenel, we serve as a trusted advisor and advocate for our clients throughout the construction process. Our construction administration services include management, coordination, documentation, and ongoing project monitoring. Thanks to our in-depth understanding of regulations and permitting procedures, we are able to help clients navigate jurisdictional requirements efficiently, often accelerating project timelines.
We proactively identify and resolve potential issues that may arise in the field, such as weather delays, utility conflicts, or material shortages. Our team applies creative problem-solving to deliver practical, timely solutions that minimize disruptions and keep construction moving forward. We bring extensive experience in both private and public sector development, allowing us to tailor our approach to the unique challenges of each project.
Constructability is a core focus of our process. We recognize that the ultimate success of a design depends on how well it can be built in the field. That’s why we integrate our full-time construction administration professionals into the design phase of every project. Their insights help anticipate construction challenges and the methods contractors may use on-site, allowing us to address complex issues before they arise. This collaborative approach reduces the risk of costly change orders and delays.
In addition, our construction inspection staff supports cost estimation by monitoring industry pricing trends. This allows us to provide clients with more accurate construction cost projections and budget insights during the planning and design phases.
