NEC4 subcontract quiz

The NEC4 Engineering and Construction Subcontract looks like the ECC but runs on different clocks. This quiz covers the ECS and the Short Subcontract, including how they link to the main contract.

The commonest mistake is using a main contract period under a subcontract. Under the NEC4 ECS the Subcontractor has seven weeks to notify, not eight. See NEC for subcontractors for more.

What next?

Try another contract family, put it into practice in a role-play, or keep a clause sheet beside you.
