Hi John The essence of the
Hi John
The essence of the NEC form of contract is the control and management of time - which is why the programme is a central document.
Changes are agreed before commencement and when the programme is adjusted and agreed it becomes the contract programme.
Delay events are discussed as and when they occur and if an extension is agreed again the programme is adjusted.
There are time risk buffers built into the programme.
The CA can request acceleration on agreed terms.
What people must understand is that it takes a lot of planning input on both sides to make the system work.
I hope this helps
Best regards
Mike T.
