Hariri Pontarini is now on the FIVE Hosted Cloud

Like many other clients over the past few years, long-time client Hariri Pontarini recently migrated their privately hosted FIVE construction contract administration server to our secure FIVE Hosted Cloud platform.

Our team managed the automated migration, which was remotely initiated and monitored overnight to minimize the involvement of Hariri Pontarini’s IT department and avoid downtime for the CCA staff. Our automatic redirection system ensured that all users were able to get back online quickly and easily, without any issues.

According to Hariri Pontarini’s IT department, the migration from local server to our cloud server was one of the smoothest Cloud migrations in their history. That’s something we are very proud to hear!

The Approval and Tracking of Work Beyond the Scope of the Original Contract

From extras to cash allowance draws, contingency expenditures to fund allocations, there are many ways to affect the original contract price, authorize new work within the existing contract price, and track adjustments and progress to the Work. Let’s take a closer look at how to handle any situation you may encounter.

The Trouble with RFIs

In a perfect world, every Request for Information (RFI) from the Builder would come from a true need for information that was missing, unclear, or contradictory in the contract documents and drawings.

In the real world, RFIs are often weaponized.

Changes to the Contract Price and Time

Almost every construction project will inevitably require a change to the originally agreed upon price and time. From deficiencies in the contract documents and drawings, to unforeseen circumstances on the construction site, to mandates from authorities having jurisdiction – there are plenty of things that can (and will) result in extras or credits to the contract.

Drag & Drop Email Messages as Attachments
