This study explores the administrative authority in monitoring the implementation of public works contracts, focusing on a comparative analysis between Syrian law and the FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) system, with reference to Hungarian law. Public works contracts are crucial for infrastructure development and sustainable growth, necessitating stringent oversight to ensure compliance with contractual terms and specifications. The research highlights administrative authorities’ dual role in supervising and directing contract execution. It underscores the importance of legal and technical mechanisms in achieving quality, efficiency, and effectiveness in public works projects.
