Course overview
NEC4 ECC – Contract Administration is part of Concordia’s Beyond the Clauses training series. It is for contract and commercial teams learning to administer the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. It focuses on successful project delivery and what your team has to do, rather than working through the clauses one by one.
The course looks at the day-to-day administration of the contract: issuing communications, tracking notices and submissions, managing reply periods and keeping records. It follows the administration of early warnings, programmes, compensation events and payment so that participants understand what needs to be done, by whom and when.
Participants work through examples of notices, submissions and replies. They discuss who needs to act, when a response is due and what should be recorded.
