Course overview
NEC4 ECC – Contract Administration is for the people coordinating notices, submissions, replies and records under the Engineering and Construction Contract. It follows the work needed to keep the contractual procedures operating on time.
Participants trace communications through early warning, programme, compensation event and payment processes. They identify who must act, which response period applies and what needs to be retained in the record, including any required follow-up notification.
The exercises involve preparing identifiable communications, tracking submissions and checking the status of decisions. The course focuses on the administration supporting those decisions; the Project Manager course examines the responsibilities and judgements of the person making them.
