What administration means
Administration places a company under the control of a licensed administrator, with a legal moratorium that stops creditors taking action while the administrator tries to rescue the business, sell it as a going concern (often via a pre-pack) or achieve a better result for creditors than a liquidation would.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I check whether a construction company or builder is in administration?
- Search the company name or number from the home page; its page shows every recorded procedure with dates and the practitioner. Our guide on checking if a company is insolvent covers the official sources too.
- Who is appointed when a construction company or builder goes into administration?
- A licensed insolvency practitioner acts as administrator, takes control from the directors and reports to creditors within eight weeks. The practitioner's firm is shown on each company page once the notice names them.
- Can I see construction companies in other procedures?
- Yes — the Construction overview lists every procedure together, and the chips above switch between liquidations, administrations and CVAs.
