Indicative pricing
Your total monthly staffing cost.
These figures include salary, employment costs, the Manila office, equipment and Lynk support. AUD per month for one dedicated, full-time contract administrator.
Contract administration uses our project-support budget as a starting guide. Contract experience and commercial responsibilities can change the final quote.

| Junior | $2,500–$2,800 | Contract records, registers and routine administration, with information prepared for your reviewer. |
| Mid-level | $2,850–$3,150 | Construction contract experience covering claims, variation administration and subcontract records. |
| Senior | $3,450–$3,850 | Broader contract administration, more complex projects and commercial reporting responsibilities. |
Indicative ranges, not a price ceiling. Experience, specialist skills and the role requirements can put the final quote above or below these figures.
The optional Australian experience allowance is approximately 10%, rounded to $50. The main pricing table and team calculator use the upper end of the range with this option selected; do not add the allowance again. We confirm your candidate’s actual fee before you proceed.

Common questions
Before you hire.
How much responsibility can the role include?
Shape the role around the person’s experience and your commercial team’s needs. Agree their reporting line, approval limits and which work needs review, as you would for an in-house hire.
Can the role combine estimating and contract administration?
It can where the workload and candidate experience fit. Be clear about the split between pre-contract tenders and post-contract administration, especially when both have deadlines.
Do they need Australian project experience?
If your contracts, client requirements or workflow make it essential, include it in the brief. Review comparable projects and discuss examples during the interview. The Australian experience allowance in the pricing guide is indicative.
