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.
This webinar is Part 1 of a six-part series. Parts 1–3 are free, while Parts 4–6 are available via our Learning Management System under a subscription plan.
