INTRODUCTION
A construction contract is mainly a legal on mutual binding agreement between two parties
which is based on conditions and policies which is recorded in documented form. The main
purpose of this contract is to set obligations for parties which helps in reducing the risk and
accomplishing goals in efficient manner in a workplace (Bakare, 2021). With the help of dispute
management system one can resolve disputes between parties efficiently and can build a positive
work environment. Present report discusses the concept and theories of contract administration
techniques and distribute management techniques along with their application.
MAIN BODY
To understand the concepts and theories of contract administration techniques and know how
these may be applied in the specific area of a modern commercial construction environment.
Contract administration is defined as the management of contract between employer or
client and the building contractor. It is essential for contract administrator to efficiently manage,
negotiate support and execute the contract process in a well-defined and effective manner. There
are various forms of techniques and tools of contract management such as contract change
control process in which proper documentation communication tracking of system and dispute
resolution procedures is included (Gunduz and Elsherbeny, 2021). It helps in managing overall
contract in efficient manner. Furthermore, it has been evaluated that a different concepts and
theories of contract management such as having efficient skills such as leadership interpersonal
team working which helps in conducting operations in modern commercial construction
environment. With the help of application of contract management theory, improving efficiency,
ensure workers safety and implementing sustainable practices and with the help of organisational
behaviour automation and process improvement technologies application in modern commercial

construction environment accomplishment of project can be done while ensuring successful
outcome.
To understand the concepts and theories of dispute management techniques and know how these
may be applied in the specific area of a modern commercial construction environment.
Contact management is defined as a strategy and approach through which one can
achieve positive resolution or outcome among the parties and can solve matters in efficient
manner. There are different type of concepts and approaches of dispute management that can be
applied in modern commercial construction environment through which conflicts in workplace
can be managed efficiently. As per modern corporate model the first step insight into the
beneficial consequences of corporation academic enquiry was modern device as per the theory.
There are number of factors like nature of the dispute and the goals each party aims and
determining the kind of oriented a party would bring to negotiate in order to solve the conflict
(HAIDAR, 2021). This theory can be applied in modern construct management environment
which can help in finding a balance between two approaches to find successful negotiation. In
terms with John Burton, human needs model in order to solve contract it is important that needs
that are threatening be identified and reconstruction of relationship among individual or groups
can be accommodated. This will help in resolving conflicts in efficient way. Furthermore, Bush,
Folger and Lederach, conflict transformational theory in this it is important to make sure that
negative attitudes does not develop in an environment. With the help of applying this theory in
modern instruction environment communication pattern can be developed in which parties or
groups can be empowered to understand their need and situation which help in recognising the
situation and need of their opponent. From the above analysis it has been identified that with the
application of these theories and concepts of distribute management techniques modern
commercial construction environment can work in a successful manner.
To formulate appropriate learning strategies and techniques so as to progress through the chosen
programme of study.
There are different type of learning Strategies and techniques such as implementation of
technology visualisation of information management and motivational learning strategies. With

the help of which process through the chosen program of study can be assured effectively. In this
with the help of motivational learning strategies and taking use of effective communication with
modern learning techniques positive workplace environment can be created. It has been
identified that these learning strategies help in creating an environment which is unique and offer
help or support to individual in order to develop their expertise (Maiti and Choi, 2021). In
addition to this it has been underlined that this strategy also helps in prioritising the task and
mitigating the risk which significantly helps one to understand the process of learning. These
strategies also help in identifying the weakness area through which one can further work on in
order to accomplish task in efficient manner.
CONCLUSION
As per the above-mentioned report it has been concluded that in order to ensure success in
modern commercial construction environment it is needed to apply concepts and theories of
contract administration management and dispute management. These concept and techniques
will effectively help in accomplishing goals.
