Claims Administration

The organized handling of contract claims, including their intake, evaluation and decision, and formal notification of the results to the involved parties.

Key Points

  • Manages formal requests for adjustment under a contract when the buyer and seller disagree.
  • Typical steps: receive and log the claim, assess it against contract terms and evidence, issue a decision, and communicate outcomes within required timeframes.
  • Relies on strong documentation and traceability for audits and potential negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
  • Results may include approved change orders or equitable adjustments, denial of the claim, and updates to project records and baselines.

Example

A contractor files a claim for extra payment due to differing site conditions. The project team records the claim, reviews contract clauses on site conditions, analyzes cost and schedule impacts, renders a written decision, and formally communicates the outcome to the contractor, with next steps and timelines for appeal.
