“…Besides that, Putliz (cited in Construction World, 2018) continues to note that the contract administrator must be a registered professional with a bachelor's degree in the built environment. Klee (2018), argues that the great significance of the contract administrator is to assist in completing a project successfully and fairly, and in compliance with the contract, all while attaining the desired quality standard within the contractual time frame and doing so at the specified cost. To clarify the contract administrator's setting within a construction project, Klee (2018) identified the following arrangements: (1) the 'employers' agent' (the contract administrator, or referred to as 'The Engineer'), (2) the 'employer's representative' (usually in the case of smaller projects), and (3) the 'construction manager' (usually without the responsibility for design and works).…”

“…The basic concept of contract administrator is that he or she is an independent person who should have extensive contract knowledge and function as an unbiased mediator dedicated to managing the contractual relationship between the client and the contractor (Yarbrough, 2021). The contract administrator is expected to assist the client and the contractor in completing the construction fairly, within the agreed budget, expected quality and time-frame (Klee, 2018).…”

“…Considering the importance of client satisfaction. Klee (2018) argues that the contract administrator's position is of utmost importance. Based on the premise that the contract administrator is a key independent role-player in the construction contract, it could also be expected that there would be clarity with regard to the roles and responsibilities of the contract administrator.…”

The nature of the construction contract administrator’s role from project commencement to completion is multifaceted and complex. Additionally, successfully performing the role, requires various skills. Different perspectives exist on what contract administrators do and what competencies are necessary for the day-to-day administration of a construction contract. The aim of the study was to determine contract administrators’ key roles in the Zambian construction industry. This study provides literature that gives an understanding of what role contract administrators should fulfil. Having this knowledge will enable them to carry out their functions effectively and this will foster completion of construction projects within the stipulated conditions of the contracts. This research shows the key roles of a contract administrator at the various stages of construction that are categorised depending on a particular stage of construction. These roles include risk-related, cost, schedule, procurement, integration and resource-related roles.

All construction projects include a network of participants, who aim to produce complex products that require collaboration and interaction between several specialized participants (see Table 2) with complementary skills to create a functioning product (e.g Håkansson and Ingemansson 2013;Pulkka et al 2016).…”

This dissertation examines current collaborative practices in wooden multistorey construction (WMC) projects through a business ecosystem approach to detect effective and ineffective practices when working with novel wooden materials and gaining knowledge of them. Furthermore, it deepens our understanding of citizen perceptions and homeowner experiences towards WMC, to ensure that professionals are able to construct buildings that are not only profitable, but also appreciated by end-users and functional in daily use. Qualitative means are used to provide an in-depth view of the matters.The findings reveal that while construction projects are essentially collaborative efforts, the novelty of WMC materials and methods requires increased communication and learning between the business ecosystem participants. The keystone of a business ecosystem has a fundamental role in enabling deeper, long-term commitment between participants through procurement practices and meetings. These allow participants to work towards a common goal and to accumulate knowledge of wooden construction also between projects. Feedback processes should be improved between the participants, but homeowner experiences should also be utilized more efficiently. The results imply that while the business ecosystem approach provides a usable lens to study collaboration in WMC projects, it should not be seen as a static system concentrating on the design and construction phases, but one that evolves throughout a building's life cycle, incorporating end-users as the ecosystem keystones when moving to the use phase of the building.Furthermore, the results support previous literature in that end-users appreciate soft aspects of wood material, such as aesthetics and ambiance, while durability and maintenance needs create concerns. However, the qualitative approach used in this study reveals that some aspects are multifaceted, carrying both positive and negative meanings for the end-users. Homeowner experiences indicate the importance of the everyday usability of home materials. Furthermore, the 'liveliness' of the wooden material seemed to surprise some of the homeowners, indicating that they are more familiar with other urban construction materials. Communication with end-users should therefore be improved to decrease concerns, but also to inform about the material's practical benefits such as pleasant soundscapes.

Risk management of construction projects presented in the article focuses on the management of business risk from the perspective of public investors in public works contracts in the Czech Republic. Based on the data analysis and a comparative study of specific attributes in contracts for works, the result of the research has been a portfolio of specific instruments and their recommended parameters for effective business risk management. Qualitative analysis was conducted using a questionnaire survey and structured interviews with public sector representatives to share their views on the current practice of protecting public procurement with regard to mitigate business risk. Types, functions and recommended parameters of hedging instruments has been proposed. Effective forms of hedging are mainly liability insurance for damage to things, property and health, contractual penalties, retention money and bank guarantees. Results of the research were compared with foreign practice and international contractual standards.
