Contract Management is a Czech consultancy acting for employers and contracting authorities on large construction projects in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We take the role of the Engineer, run contract, claim and cost management, and give investors a defensible basis for every decision.
From the brief and the design documentation, through procurement, to construction and handover — we connect the technical, contractual, time and cost dimensions of the project into a single management framework.
We represent the Employer under the contract, coordinate the parties to the works, monitor performance of obligations and support the Employer's decisions with determinations that hold up to scrutiny.
We run contractual correspondence, record and assess Variations, evaluate claims and prepare the evidence a contracting authority needs for transparent, auditable decisions.
We review budgets, Bills of Quantities, the pricing of Variations and claims, and the financial consequences of decisions. We track progress against the programme and flag delay risk before it becomes a delay.
We check that the works comply with the design documentation and the contract, monitor the statutory site diary and coordinate health and safety on site.
We help structure digital project delivery in a common data environment to ISO 19650 principles, and align contractual processes with the applicable FIDIC conditions.
The market runs on FIDIC — and on a local standard built on top of it. FIDIC is applied across the Czech and Slovak construction market, public and private alike. What decides your position is not the General Conditions but everything layered above them: standardised Particular Conditions, national methodologies and an established way of applying them that the market has followed for years. We know that layer, because our experts helped write parts of it.
Local practice is not written down anywhere you can read. How Variations are priced, what a claim notice has to contain to survive scrutiny, how the statutory site diary interacts with your contractual record, what a Czech contractor expects and what they will contest — none of this is in the contract. It is in practice, and it is where foreign investors lose money.
Evidence beats argument. A claim supported by a complete, time-stamped record is settled. A claim supported by an assertion is not. That holds on a private industrial project as firmly as on a public one.
We work on both sides of the market. Most of our track record is on major public projects, which is where the most demanding contract and claim work in this country happens. Private investors get the benefit of that experience without the procurement machinery: the same discipline, applied to your programme, your budget and your risk.
Contract management, a.s. is part of the Liftrock group, which brings together companies working across the construction lifecycle: quality management and site supervision, common data environment software, BIM and geospatial data services, and specialist expert analysis.
Where a project needs capabilities beyond our own scope, we can draw on them within one group.
We remain specialists in what decides the outcome of a construction project: the contract, the programme, the cost, the risk and the evidence behind every decision.
The FIDIC conditions run to hundreds of interlinked sub-clauses and time limits. Our Slovak managing director spent three years mapping them into a single graphical diagram covering the relationships, procedural steps and deadlines of the Red and Yellow Books. We released it to the industry free of charge, and it is now in use well beyond Central Europe.
