Construction administration is the documentation backbone of every construction project. This episode breaks down the five key construction administration documents: RFIs, ASIs, change orders, construction change directives, and supplemental drawings.
We cover when to use each document type, the schedule of values and how AIA G702 and G703 payment applications work, and the submittal review process. We also walk through how to handle non-conforming work and the most common construction administration mistakes.
