Further detail
Read this alongside the NEC Dictionary of Terms.
Z clauses are additional conditions used with NEC contracts. They can amend risk allocation or standard procedures, so the printed core clauses may not give the complete answer. References, document priority and interactions with the selected main and secondary options need to be read together.
Mark every altered obligation before setting up your contract routine. A Construction contract review before signing can help identify amendments that need negotiation or clarification.
