Further detail

Read this alongside the NEC Dictionary of Terms.

NEC is a family of contracts covering different appointments and pricing arrangements. A subcontractor needs the particular subcontract, edition, main option and amendments. Management processes, notices and records have distinct functions, so familiarity with the main contract is not a substitute for reading your own agreement.

Map the notice and assessment requirements at the outset. A Construction contract review before signing can identify package-specific obligations and amended terms.
