Presented by Neil Earnshaw

This webinar is Part 1/6. The first three webinars are FREE and the rest will require a Subscription Plan. 

What’s it about 

This training session introduces you to the common philosophies of the NEC family of contracts and focuses in more detail on the key mechanics and provisions of the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Subcontract (ECS). This session will review the contract strategy options between the main ECS Options A-E as well as the choices of secondary Options that are available, all of which alter the risk profile and the payment mechanisms on a given subcontract. We will also take you through how to put together a subcontract agreement. 

By completing this module delegates 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.

• Know the overall structure of the ECS. 
• Understand the main (A-E) Options and secondary (X1-X21) Options. 
• Know the functions of each of the ECS documents
