Online NEC4 Short Contract Training

Why you should attend this workshop?

This one-day workshop introduces you to the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract and Short Subcontract – assuming attendees already have an understanding of the suite of NEC contracts. It focuses on practical issues in preparing the pre-contract information and the post-contract management. An overview of the main clauses and the changes from NEC3 is followed by a review of the requirements for preparation of Contract Data and Scope – using a typical project to consider requirements for Time, Cost and Quality and also to develop a risk management strategy. That same example project is used in the afternoon as the basis for exercises dealing with the contract management processes.

Attendees of this course will have a much clearer understanding of the intent of the specific contractual clauses and in practical terms begin to see how they should administer them for the benefit of all parties on a particular project.

You will learn about:

• when the Short Contract and the Short Subcontract are particularly suitable
• the key differences between the provisions for of the ECC and EC Short Contracts
• the main changes between NEC3 and NEC4 EC Short Contract
• preparing the Contract Data and Scope for tender – assessing project risks and writing the Contract data accordingly
• using ECC main contract clauses by importing them as Z clauses into the Short Contract
• the roles and responsibilities of the Employer and Contractor for managing design, subcontractors, time, quality, payments and scope change
• the important ECSC contract management processes, in particular early warnings, communications, progress/time, defects, payments and compensation events
• assessing compensation events using the defined ECSC processes and other available NEC guidance
• typical ECSC pitfalls and how to avoid them – based on exercises using a typical project example
