    Study Notes

    • The role of a contract administrator during a construction project is to monitor and actively seek to ensure compliance with the contractual provisions relating to information flow, notices, valuations, payments, assessments, claims for money and extensions of time.

    • The contract administrator is the individual responsible for administering the construction contract.

    • The contract administrator may be the lead consultant, the cost consultant, or a client representative.

    • Once practical completion is achieved, the employer is able to take possession of the works, the employer’s right to instruct variationsto the works will cease, and claims for delay on the part of the employer and for loss and expense/extension on the part of the contractor will no longer be valid.

    • Liquidated and ascertained damages or "LADs" (or sometimes "LDs") are damages that are agreed in advance and payable upon the occurrence of a specified breach of contract.

    • Advantages to the contractor include certainty of the contract price and the ability to make a commercial decision as to whether it would be preferable to hand the building over late and pay the LADs, or to devote more resources to the project to bring it back on time.

    • The level of LADs specified is a ceiling for the amount of damages payable. If it turns out that the client's loss is greater than the LADs stated in the contract, the client cannot claim the greater sum.

    • BIM is a process of sharing reliable information throughout the life cycle of a building that uses 3D digital models.

    • BIM approach online collaboration allows for the coordination of tasks between different parties involved in the construction process.

    • The traditional approach to BIM is through the use of software that is used by designers, engineers, contractors, and facility managers. BIM coordinators help to manage and coordinate the process of using BIM.

    • The BIM Manager is responsible for drawing and modeling data in the digital model of the project and managing the digital model at the scale of an organization.

    • The BIM Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the defined protocol is followed and drafts the protocol.

    • The BIM Modeller is responsible for creating the model of the project.

    • The BIM Manager coordinates the work of the BIM Modeller and the BIM Coordinator.

    • The BIM Manager ensures that the project platform is in agreement with the project owner and the project manager.

    • The BIM Modeller oversees the exchanges with the BIM Coordinator and the BIM Modeller.
