About the role
This interview examines the practical administration of construction contracts after award. The panel is looking for careful interpretation, timely notices, evidence-based payment and variation decisions, reliable records and measured handling of commercial disagreements.
How to prepare
- Review a construction contract you have administered and identify its change, notice and payment procedures.
- Prepare an example of a variation from initial instruction through evidence, valuation and agreement.
- Think through how you verify work, materials and supporting documents in a payment application.
- Review the records that support delay, access, instruction and cost events.
- Prepare a negotiation where you protected the contract position while keeping work moving.
Common mistakes
- Relying on general fairness instead of the actual contract wording and procedure.
- Treating urgent verbal requests as approved changes without protecting the written record.
- Certifying payment from a headline percentage without checking evidence and inspection status.
