Managing NEC4 ECC Option A contracts:

In Episode 1 of NECtar Briefings, [Neil Earnshaw](https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-earnshaw-4602174/) (NE Consult) and [Glenn Hide](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-hide-b256062/) ([GMH Planning – NEC Training](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gmh-planning-ltd/)) break down why “straightforward” construction contract choices are often more complex than they first seem.

Important discussions are covered, such as:
🟨 The level of detail needed on Activity Schedules
🟨 When should the Contractor revise the activity schedule?
🟨 The practical challenges of implemented Compensation Events
🟨 Unpriced work explained

Stick around till the end to find out [Neil](https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-earnshaw-4602174/) and [Glenn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-hide-b256062/)’s most overrated clause in NEC!
